Question

I have a variable itemid (which is the id of an element) which I want to hide, but firefox tells me this code is illegal:

  $(#(itemid)).hide();

Is what I am trying not possible or am I just tring it the wrong way? Also, in terms of debugging, is it possible to use javascript variable in alert boxes?

Thanks

try this:

$('#' + itemid).hide();
