JQuery Naming Dynamic Elements and children

Question

I've been trying all night to get a dynamically created set of table to change their class.

Normally JQuery will let you do this:

$('table tbody tr').click(function () {
    // remove clickedRow class from all same level rows?
    $(this).addClass('clickedRow');
});

I want to apply something similar but to a specific but dynamically created id. I've tried

$(idname 'tbody tr')

and

$('idname tbody tr')

but haven't been able to find a work around.

Is there a solution?

You have to put # before IDs. And you have to use proper Javascript string concatenation syntax.

$("#" + idname + " tbody tr")

However, if you want to bind a handler to elements that will be created dynamically, it's usually better to use delegation. See

$('#idname tbody tr')

or

$('#' + idname + ' tbody tr')
