jQuery: selecting element that has its ID starting with a given text
<p>Given a table with the following id attribute: </p>

<pre><code>id="table.form.address.48619"
</code></pre>

<p>... how can I select it given only the table.form.address portion of its id?</p>

<p>If I try the following :</p>

<pre><code>    var sInputs = $('table[id=^"table\\.form\\.address"]');
alert( sInputs.html() );
</code></pre>

<p>I get a null</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>PS - I got NO CONTROL over the way the ID gets generated :-(, it's just something I have to deal with</p>
