基于按钮ID的jQuery .click函数包含部分文本

Question

In my web app, a text tag, updateTender is embedded in each of several buttons, all with a different prefix & suffix for later use. What is the Jquery code to begin the function upon button click, matched on id contains some text?

I unsuccessfully tried:

$("[id*='updateTender']").click(function(){
alert("clicked!");
});

but get no alert response/button is unresponsive.

example button html:

<button id='1._updateTender__.14'>Update</button>

The code is working fine. Make sure you have added jQuery library in your project.

 $("[id*='updateTender']").click(function(){ alert("clicked!"); });
