How to append '#' to the value in Javascript

Question

Can anyone please help me how to append '#' to the value as below:

My code is below:

var idselvalue = '#'+idvalue;
console.log("IDSELVALUE"+idselvalue); // Printing as ::: #"T2"

( I want this to be printed as "#T2" so that I want to include the below)

 $('#idselvalue').val(usrObj); // to display the selected option in the select box

if I hard the value as below:

 $('#T2').val("26");

I also need help how to retrieve all the selected options, as of now I'm able to get only one first selected option

Below is my code:::

$(document).ready(function () {
            var usrObj = getCookie("selectedEXP");
            var idvalue = getCookie("selectedIDValue");


            var idselvalue = '#'+idvalue;
            console.log("IDSELVALUE"+idselvalue);
          $('#idselvalue').val(usrObj);

            console.log("OnLoad Calling usrObj"+usrObj);
            console.log("OnLoad Calling idvalue"+idvalue);

//Printing only one selected options
});

Appreciate your help! Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

Try using the following:

var idselvalue = function(d){return "#"+idvalue;}

along with scrappedcola 's suggestion:

$('#idselvalue').val(usrObj); should be $(idselvalue) you already appended a # to the beginning and js can't determine the var from the string, it will just treat the entire thing as a string.

Answer 2

I've solved it by removing the double quotes for the idvalue and userobj as below:

 var idselvalue = '#'+idvalue.replace(/\"/g, "");
            var selusrObj = usrObj.replace(/\"/g, "");
            $(idselvalue).val(selusrObj);

It is working fine...

Thank you!
