I needed to find some dom elements which have a regex class names in jquery. Jquery is really awesome and people made some precious contributions to it. One of them is James Padolsey's regex selector which is found here . It fit my needs and I used it like this $('a:regex(class,sometext[0-9]*)').each(function(){ grup="'"+$(this).attr('class').split(' ')[0]+"'" ; $(this).colorbox({rel:grup}); }); in binding colorbox to newly inserted items to the page by infinite scroll . All these bold words are names of great jqeury extensions which I have made use of on a page together with another awesome extension masonry . Extensions, extensions,extensions thats the way we build web pages nowadays.
