Wildcards in jQuery selectors

To get all the elements starting with "jander" you should use:

$("[id^=jander]")

To get those that end with "jander"

$("[id$=jander]")

See also the JQuery documentation

for classes you can use:

div[class^="jander"]

Try the jQuery starts-with

selector, '^=', eg

[id^="jander"]

I have to ask though, why don't you want to do this using classes?

Since the title suggests wildcard you could also use this:

$(document).ready(function(){
  console.log($('[id*=ander]'));
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="jander1"></div>
<div id="jander2"></div>

This will select the given string anywhere in the id.
