Unexpected string error jquery

Question

I am targeting dynamic divs for that I made a code

if ($("#" + selector_name "#" + name + add_count).size() == 0) {
    var p = "<div id = '" + name + add_count + "' class='progressbar' data-perc='0'><div class='bar'><span></span></div><div class='label-up'><span></span></div><div class='mi-avtr-cnt'></div><div class='clear'></div></div>"; 
    $(".mitxt").append(p);  
}

How can I target divs dynamically . The problem is with line "#" + selector_name "#" + name + add_count

What are selector_name, name and add_count? You should provide more context! Also, you are missing + between selector_name "#". — Ram

You have a syntax error because a + is missing:

if ($("#" + selector_name + "#" + name + add_count).size() == 0) { ... }
                          ^ -- This was missing

Also note that ids are supposed to be unique in document, so a div can only have one id (that is also unique). You may want to do $("#" + selector_name + ",#" + name + add_count) (selecting two elements with different ids).

Ids must be unique

"#" + selector_name "#" + name + add_count this selector is not a valid selector(And this is a syntax error). A valid id selector is '#' + your_element_id

use '#' + name + add_count as selector should solve your problem

That's not really a selector, that's an error-prone expression.
