Fucking EMCAScript

Shit /prog/. I don't javascript enough.

Isn't there a 'like' function in JS that isn't regex?

I need to get all element ID with the pattern:
prefix * suffix

The actual name of JavaScript. It was called something else when Netscape initially developed it.

Sun and Netscape struck a deal a long time ago that Netscape could distribute Java with Navigator if Netscape renamed  their new browser scripting technology to JavaScript.

When they went to the EMCA to get it standardized, they gave it a no-go on the name JavaScript because it had absolutely nothing to do with Java and was misleading.
