How to get the value of html element with id suffix using JQuery

Question

How to get the value of the HTML input type with dynamic id name using jQuery

    <td><input id="j_id_id23:hiddenId" type="hidden" name="j_id_id23:hiddenId" value="3" /></td>

The input id name is generated dynamically. So the key for finding specific element is by hiddenId which I can attached to the html input component.

I have done this so far but returning undefined

$('input[id^="hiddenId"]')

Begins-with, just like regex: `$('input[id^="hiddenId"]')`. Ends-with: `$('input[id$="hiddenId"]')` — mplungjan, Oct 17 '19 at 05:42

If id value ends up with known substring hiddenId you can use selector:

$('input[id$="hiddenId"]')
