Question

How do I concatenate a string with a javascript variable inside a jquery selector?
If I execute the code below. All the other form elements gets hidden.

var inputatr = $('input[type=text]').attr(); //button
$('input[value=string ' +  inputatr +']').hide(); //textbox

Update

<?php for($x=0; $x<4; $x++){ ?>

<input type="text" id="<?php echo $x; ?>" name="<?php echo $x; ?>" value="text<?php echo $x; ?>"/>
<input type="button" name="show<?php echo $x; ?>" value="string<?php echo $x; ?>"/></li>

<?php } ?>

Are you trying to locate all your textboxes and hide the one with the value of 'string'? If so, the way to do that is actually something more like this:

$('input[type=text]').filter('input[value=string]').hide()

Updated because of your update:

$('input[type=button]').click(function(event)
{
    var strNum = $(this).val('name').replace('string', '');

    $('#' + strNum).hide();
}
