JQuery accessing PHP generated content

Question

I have

<?php 
   include('print.php') 
?>

That echoes html code inside my document, and after I load it I can't access the divs by id with jQuery

$("#"+divId)

It doesn't work even from chrome's console. I can access them with plain javascript

 document.getElementById(divId)

If I hardcode the divs I can access them via jQuery. Can anyone explain me why php-generated code is not accessible via jQuery?

php is rendered on the server, before the client even loads. so there is an error with your code, it can't be related to php. — serakfalcon

You need to use $('#' + divId) inside your document load. It does not work from chrome's console because variable divId does not exist.

Try this:

$(function() {
   var divId = Whatever your Div ID is;
   var div = $('#' + divId);
});

In the end it proved to be a stuipid distraction, The fact that the content was dynamically generated on the server side was totally incidental. One of the divs contained a dot instead of a dash in the id ('#1.0'), so jquery was interpreting it as '#[id].[class]'
