there is an error with this onclick functon

[picwizz]

hi, im having trouble with the following code

 

this is just one line from the code which is not working

 

$('.likehide'+pid).html('<a href="#" onclick="unlike(pid); return false;">unlike</a>');

 

The code works but when i inspect the element, it shows up like this

 

<a href="#" onclick="unlike(pid); return false;">unlike</a>

 

it should not have "pid" it should be displaying the pid value

 

What am i doing wrong in the jquery code? Thanks

You put literally "pid" in the string. If you want a variable then concatenate it in just like you did for the '.likehide'+pid.

i have done that here is the full function

 

 

function like(pid){

$.post('inc/like.php', {pid:pid}, function(data){

if(data == "yes"){

countlike(pid);

$('.likehide'+pid).html('<a href="#" onclick="unlike(pid); return false;">unlike</a>');

} else {

alert("error:"+ data);

}

});

}

$('.likehide'+pid).html('unlike');

No you haven't. It still has "pid" directly in the string.

 

[edit] See that green? That means it's a string. "pid" is in the green so that means it's a string too.

try this

$('.likehide'+pid).html('<a href="#" onclick="unlike('+pid+'); return false;">unlike</a>');
