Question

Below is the code I have and instead of it automatically adding the info to a div with the id #userid, I need to actually print out the user id (currently, it just adds it to the div, but I need to be able to just print it where ever I want, instead of it auto-adding to a div wrap).

My ultimate goal is to get the USER ID and then put it into a WordPress query (the userid is currently being used as a post tag and I need to pull all posts from that specific user, so I want to query posts by tag)

<script src="http://connect.soundcloud.com/sdk.js"></script>  
<script>
  SC.initialize({
    client_id: "a808af7fabb53ad7971c6c9675f392b3",
    redirect_uri: "http://madebyguerrilla.com/clients/2012/theappreciationengine/wordpress/wp-content/themes/TheAppreciationEngine_WP/callback.html"
  });

  $("#connect").live("click", function(){
    SC.connect(function(){
      SC.get("/me", function(me){
        $("#username").text(me.username);
        $("#userid").text(me.id);
      });
    });
  });

  $("#update").live("click", function(){
    SC.put("/me", {user: {description: $("#description").val()}}, function(response, error){
      if(error){
        alert("Some error occured: " + error.message);
      }else{
        alert("Profile description updated!");
      }
    });
  });
</script>

Any help would be appreciated.

Any chance you could be new to JS? Just kidding.

Inside the SC.get() call you have access to the ID as me.id:

var userId;

SC.get("/me", function(me){
    $("#username").text(me.username);
    $("#userid").text(me.id); // <-- This is the user id, you can store it in a variable
    userId = me.id; //           <-- like this
});
