append a jquery variable into a div

Question

I'm trying to append the jquery variable into a div. When i click on the button with id #g noting shows up in my div.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#g").click(function() {
        var n = $('#g').val();
        $('#sentence')append('n');
    });
});

Can you show your HTML also please? There's no way for us to know if you've even se a value on #g or if you're trying to get the html, etc. — ntgCleaner

Close

$('#sentence').append(n);

Remove those quotes around the variable. Also, you're missing a . between the selector and append

You may have a typo. Try this:

$('#sentence').append(n);

remove those '' around n (and you forgot . before append)

$("#g").click(function() {
    var n = $('#g').val();
    $('#sentence').append(n);
});
