Question

Can anyone tell me why this doesn’t work?

var leftPos = (10 * 20)+ "px";

function setPosition() {
$("#Position5").css('left','(' + leftPos + ')');    
}

window.onload = function() {
setPosition ();
};

Markup

<span id="Position5">hello</span>

If I replace the variable with a pixel value it works but I can’t seem to get the var to pass through?

Thanks for looking.

No need to add the brackets around leftPos.

function setPosition() {
   $("#Position5").css('left', leftPos );    
}
