Hi,
I'm afraid those IDs are invalid. IDs cannot contain spaces.[1] Do
you mean to be uses classes, perhaps?
But leaving aside that issue, yes, $$ can do substring matches within
attributes using substring attribute selectors[2]. So for instance,
if you used underscores instead:
<div id='one_two_three'>alpha</div>
<div id='one_three'>beta</div>
<div id='three_one'>gamma</div>
<div id='three'>delta</div>
Then $$("[id*=three]") would match all four divs above.
HTH,
