title: Getting elements by a partial id string in javascript
body: <p>I have the followng code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
  for (var i = 0; i &lt; inputs.length; i++) {
  inputs[i].disabled = bDisabled;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to now add some logic to only disable the the inputs that have and Id of the form "bib*" where bib can be any character. Ive seen other questions where this is done with jquery but I cant use jquery just simple javascript. Any help would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
