Hi all,

I'm struggling with something that is probably very simple.

In php if I have a variable I can add to it easily like


$say = \"hello\";
$say.=\" world\";

And now $say will read "hello world"

How on earth can I do that in JQuery?

Thanks all.

Ok so I found it. I looked for ages and then came accross the answer.


var say = \"Hello\";

say =+ \" World\";

I hope this helps someone else.

I can't believe I was so daft. Nevermind.

Thanks anyway... :D

well if I use PHP too much I can never remember what the concatenation is in Javascript lol

For the record, jQuery has nothing to do with that, it's just JavaScript, and the syntax is:

var someString = \"Hello, \";
someString += \"World!\";

Thanks for the Chris. When I asked I didn't know if JQuery did it a specific way.
I'm not expert with JavaScript or JQuery to be honest.

Thanks for the help in any case.
