Question

I am working on a sample problem on jsFiddle at http://jsfiddle.net/Q9yHD/

I am trying to add a border to my table with code:

      $("#") + $id).find(".name").attr("border", "thick"); 

But it doesn’t seem to be working. What am I doing wrong in here?

Answer 1

If you want to set the border attribute of a <table> remove the extra ), here:

$("#") + $id).find(".name").attr("border", "thick"); 
     ^

To make it this:

$("#" + $id).find(".name").attr("border", "10"); 

Or if you’re after CSS styling, you should use .css(), like this:

$("#" + $id).find(".name").css("border", "solid 10px #000");
