Question

I\'d like to pass the ID of an element into a function which then calls jQuery. However, I\'m stumped as to how to actually take the ID variable and concatenate it with othe

Don't wrap the parameter in quotes:

function myFunction(IDofObject) {
    $( IDofObject + " img" ).doSomething();
}

Also, you may want to consider adding the hash character inside the function so you can pass it the actual id, not a selector.

myFunction( $('.classSelector :first').attr('id') );

function myFunction(IDofObject) {
    $( "#" + IDofObject + " img" ).doSomething();
}
