Question

I have following code snippet:

    $(document).ready( function() {
        $("#input1").contextMenu({
        menu: 'myMenu'
        },
         function(action, el, pos) {
          alert("clicked");
    });

The above code is not working coz input1 is a variable that contains the elementId generating at run time.

Suppose input1 is generating as follows:

var input1 = “input”+j;
where j is a variable having value 0

Please guide how can i use variable input1 as a elementId in jQuery selector.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Use string concatenation to form the selector:

$(document).ready( function() {
    $("#" + input1).contextMenu({
    menu: 'myMenu'
    },
     function(action, el, pos) {
      alert("clicked");
});

Obviously this assumes that the variable input1 exists and has the desired value when that code is executed.
