Question

I am trying to assign a value in jQuery to an input field with a variable name.

Basically I want to access inputs depending on the name of the input:

  <script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function () {

        var inp = "input1";
        $("input[name='my<%inp%>']").val('hoera');
    });

</script>

But this does not work. Does anyone have an idea?

Answer 1

Try using

var inp = "input1";
$("input[name='my"+inp+"']").val('hoera');
