Question

I am creating a function like so:

function ajaxinate(divId) {
  ('divId .anotherDiv').toggle();
}

Can someone please tell me how to decorate the divId parameter within the function so that it interpolates from what’s passed in? For example, when I call

ajaxinate('#myAjaxinatedDiv'); 

I would like the function to look like:

('#myAjaxinatedDiv .anotherDiv').toggle();

For some reason, I can’t get the variable assigned as divID to interpolate into the function. I’ve tried decorating divId with singe quotes and + signs and just about every possible combination of the sort…

Thanks!

Pass in the variable to the string:

function ajaxinate(divId) {
  $(divId + ' .anotherDiv').toggle();
}

(Also, I’m assuming you meant to use $ for jQuery.)
