Missing ) after argument list in jQuery

Question

I'm a complete jQuery noob. I'm grabbing button_types and and div variables but this is giving me the error:

<script>
    $(function(){
      $('div [button_type="'type'"]').addClass('active');
      $('div [image-var="'image'"]').addClass('active');
    });
    </script>

I've tried putting the ) in a multitude of locations but I'm guessing there's a bigger issue with my syntax that's causing this.

Probably an easy solution for someone that knows jQuery.

Answer 1

You're missing the + signs with your variables:

$('div [button_type="' + type + '"]').addClass('active');
$('div [image-var="' + image + '"]').addClass('active');

Answer 2

You're missing + when concatenating. Should be

$(function(){
      $('div [button_type="' + type + '"]').addClass('active');
      $('div [image-var="' + image +'"]').addClass('active');
    });
