Question

Sorry i am so new to jQuery and not sure how to do that.

Basically in php i can do something like this:

$result = '';
$result .= 'Hi';
$result .= ' there';
echo $result;

I am just asking if there’s an exact copy or alternative in jQuery. instead of adding variables with plus sign which works for me, but I want all variables to be added up to the large variable, just i do in php.

Thanks very much.

As others have mentioned, yes, + is used for concatenation, but is the equivalent of . in PHP. The direct equivalent of .= in JavaScript is +=

var $result = '';
$result += 'Hi';
$result += ' there';
alert($result);
