Simple Q

I think i sound stupid asking this but i want a input box id to be a javascript variable and text that i write in.

var id = 'interior';
<input type="text" id="addcar_ + id + hidden" />

 

Idk if you guys will understand this

you'll need either getElementbyId or jquery's $('#element')

So something like this

var id = 'interior';
$('#addcar').attr('id','addcar_' + id + 'hidden');

and the input box is this before i change the id.

<input type="text" id="addcar" />

Why are you trying to do this?

I think you want PHP, not Javascript.  You're trying to set it based on a variable during the page load, which Javascript can't do.  You could change it after the page loads, but that's completely pointless.  You can just set it correctly the first time.

 

<?php

// Wherever you set it
$id = "interior";

?>

<input type="text" id="<?php echo $id; ?>" />

 

Remember you can only use an id once, so don't use this for multiple elements.  For that you'll want to use a class.
