I'm having trouble with a jQuery selector that contains a variable.
I'm trying to target an element that has a class of "orderInfo" and an
id of "billy"
So, I set a variable:
var tabText = "billy";
...and it works if I use the string:
$(".orderInfo[id='billy'"];
...but not the variable:
$(".orderInfo[id=tabTest"];
...but of course I need it to work with a variable {insert appropriate

Hi there,
The trick here is to concatenate the variable with the selector
string. Something like this should work:
$(".orderInfo[id=" + tabTest + "]");
