Question

How to change the id of the div using jquery?

I have div with id (initially as ‘first’) and a dropdown (with values ‘first’, ‘second’).

On changing the dropdown value, i need to change the id of the div according to dropdown value.

Answer 1

$('select').change(function() {
    $('div.something').attr('id',$(this).val());
});

You’ll need to use a non-ID selector to get the DIV with the ID you want to change. In the above example I have assumed a class called something.

Is there any particular reason you want to change the id of the div? I’m sure there’s a better solution. Could you elaborate a bit more?
