Updating textbox with certain ID

<asp:TextBox ID="txtExp " runat="server" CssClass="dtext costlmw" Width="200px" onkeypress="return false" autocomplete="off" />
<asp:TextBox ID="txtExpID" runat="server" CssClass="dtext costlmw" Width="200px" onkeypress="return false" autocomplete="off" />

i have two text boxes, one has id txtExp and the other is txtExmpID

 $("input[id*='txtExp']").val(sum.toFixed(2));

the line above updates BOTH textboxes with the value sum

i guess * means "contains"? but i thought that's what ~ means?

  $("input[~id='txtExp']").val(sum.toFixed(2));

i've also tried

   $("input[id='txtExp']").val(sum.toFixed(2));

when then nothing happens at all.

*= mean the value of the attribute contains the specified word. ~= mean the value of the attribute is sliced into whitespace separated words, and the specified word matches one of those whitespace separated word exactly.

Also ~id="xxxx" is a wrong syntax.

Use the ID selector #

$("#txtExp").val(x);

ASP.NET renders your ID's differently -- Either use the ClientID property, set the ClientIDMode, or just use a . and target the class.
