Oops! Thanks for the catch!
The other thing to understand is that this wont work for browsers that have
JavaScript disabled.

You still didn't get it right :-)
$("div[class^=Hide-BAT]").hide();
To original poster:
if you want "fast", then you can't beat CSS with jQuery's hide method
have like:
<div class="Hide BAT1">
<div class="Hide BAT1">
.....
<div class="Hide BAT55">
and now the CSS class "Hide" is defined like so:
.Hide { display: none; }
But, I'd suggest really reading into some replies above, you shouldn't
be using class names this way..... if your <div> needs to be uniquely
identified, then ID is the way to go, and the class name "BAT" would
be used to grab all those uniquely identified <div>'s
so building on that (note: id's are not supposed to start with
numbers, hence the "B"):
<div id="B1" class="Hide">
<div id="B2" class="Hide">
.....
<div id="B55" class="Hide">
so now on page load, it'll see:
.Hide { display: none; }
and not show all 55 <div>'s
want to do something to item 35?
function Action(id) {
$("#B" + id).doSomething
}
Action("35")
want to do something to all 55 items?
$(".Hide").show()
doesn't that seem easier plus more importantly make more sense?
something like the suggested selector against your current structure
$("div[class^=hide-BAT]").hide();
while it *would work*, you need to understand why it is slow...
- first jQuery walks across the whole entire DOM tree grabbing every
single <div>, and that's whether it's one you are after or not
- then id needs to get every single class name, and do a (relatively
to other methods anyways) slow "end with" operator
Yuck.... and just think if you had 200 of those <div>'s, or 400 !
