How to use variable in string in jQuery

Question

I want to use a variable in a string. I have tried to do it many times, but it is only getting the variable name.

Answer 1

The correct way of doing this is is by taking advantage of jQuery's HTML constructor to perform all the necessary escaping for you:

$("a").click(function() {
    var id= $(".id").html();
    // create new element
    $('
', { 
        class:'new', 
        id: id, 
        text: 'jitend'
    }).appendTo('.html'); // and append it
});
