jQuery dynamic selector

Question

I have some code which uses a selector in a loop.

This works:

document.getElementById("new_grouping_"+i).value 

This does not: $("#new_grouping_"+i).value

Is there a way to do this using jQuery?

Answer 1

You should use the val() function:

var myValue = $("#new_grouping_"+i).val(); // to get the value  $("#new_grouping_"+i).val("something");    // to set the value
