using variable in prepend img src

Question

I have a img source I'm trying to prepend but I'm trying to use the variable "id" in the source. I'm having trouble modifying this snippet of code to do that. ``` $('#photo_850').prepend('<img src= id + ".jpg" />'); ``` thanks for helping me with this

Accepted Answer

Your concatenation was off: ``` $('#photo_850').prepend('

'); ``` Another, perhaps easier to read, method would be: ``` $("", { src: id + ".jpg" }).prependTo("#photo_850"); ``` This method first creates the element represented by a string in the first parameter. Next, jQuery proceeds to map the members of the object literal to the newly-created HTML element. You can probably guess by now that our newly-created `` will have a `src` property of `foo.jpg`, assuming the variable `id` is a string of `"foo"`.
