Jquery Html()

[GoodLife]

I'm fairly new to jQuery and trying to write some code to replace the inner HTML of an element. The element is dynamically created. I would expect the inner HTML of the element with the id of type+".title" to be "hello" after the code is run but it is "test1". The plain javascript is working but the jQuery isn't. Any ideas about why the jQuery isn't working would be much appreciated. Thanks!

function edit(type){	var sectionId = "#"+type;	if($(sectionId).attr("type") == "section")	{		document.getElementById(type+".title").innerHTML = "test1";		$("#"+type+".title").html("hello");	}}

In your HTML code, is the ID of the element "type.title" or "type"? (whatever type is)

type is a variable passed to the function so if type were "test" the id would be "test.title"

Avoid using dots in IDs. Try an underscore (_) instead.
