Convert string to number and add one

Question

I want to turn the value I get from the id into a number and add one to it then pass the new value into the dosomething() function to use. When I tried this and the value is one I get back 11 not 2.

$('.load_more').live("click",function() { // When user clicks     var newcurrentpageTemp = $(this).attr("id") + 1;// Get id from the hyperlink     alert(parseInt(newcurrentpageTemp));     dosomething(); }); 

Answer 1

Assuming you are correct and your id is a proper number (without any other text), you should parse the id and then add one to it:

var currentPage = parseInt($(this).attr('id'), 10); ++currentPage;  doSomething(currentPage); 

Answer 2

Have you tried flip-flopping it a bit?

var newcurrentpageTemp = parseInt($(this).attr("id")); newcurrentpageTemp++; alert(newcurrentpageTemp));
