Append text to input field

Question

I need to append some text to an input field...

Answer 1

If you are planning to use appending more then once, you might want to write a function:

//Append text to input element
function jQ_append(id_of_input, text){
    var input_id = '#'+id_of_input;
    $(input_id).val($(input_id).val() + text);
}

After you can just call it:

jQ_append('my_input_id', 'add this text');
