In that case you would replace "^=" with "*=" :
$("a[class*=edit_]").click(...);

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this would not work if your class is
like:
<a href="..." class="someclass edit_profile">...</a>
because it checks for class="edit_[something]"
There's another solution to that, but I can't recall what it is on the
top of my head right now.

$("a[class^=edit_]").click(...);
This is saying: all <a> with class that begins with 'edit_'.

I have a page with 6 links that each have a unique class ;
edit_profile edit_preferences edit_journal edit_entry.... and so on
now I built 1 function based off edit_profile
$("a.edit_profile").click(function(){
var url_id = $(this).attr('href');
do stuff......
});
but rather than writing the same function and changing the selector
everytime how can i get this all into 1 function?
Thanks,
