Question

I am using this code ti dynamically select attributes of a element but it gives me an error in firebug

Error:

uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: ”

Here is my code:

jQuery('.mydata').click(function(){

    var current_id=jQuery(this).attr('id');
    var current_datatype=jQuery(this).attr('datatype');

    var next_id=parseInt(current_id);

    next_id=next_id+1;

    next_id="'#"+next_id+"'";

    var next_datatype=jQuery(next_id).attr('datatype'); //this line gives error

});

Answer 1

What if you do

next_id = "#" + next_id; instead of next_id="'#"+next_id+"'";
