Adding control to all form fields of a type

Adding control to all form fields of a type

I want to know if there is a way to automatically add a UI control to all fields of a certain type, for instance:

Lets say I have two form fields, with ID/Name of startDate ad endDate.

On a different page, I have say, 4 date fields, like Date1, Date2, Date3, Date 4.

Is there a way to have jQuery notice when fields have an ID that contains "date" and automatically add the datepicker to them?

I ask because I want to create a template with controls like this, where you simply name all form fields relatively standard things and jquery will automatically add the right controls.

Or maybe I am missing something, as I am just getting started with jQuery (yes, noob alert!)
