ID/Class Selector

Question

I have some kind of problem with jQuery selectors.

Let\'s say i want to select $(\'#elementID\') but the elementID is a variable.

Answer 1

If elementID is a variable ala var elementID = '#someId', I would suggest simply (although I didn't try it ):

$(elementID)

jQuery/JavaScript should dereference this variable as a string value and wrap the ID correctly for further operations...
