how to add a form with a unique id on jquery?

How can jQuery distinguish certain elements made from a loop?

• I have a loop create a bunch of buttons. I want to click a button and have jquery hide just that particular button. I realize I need different id's for each so I construct them in the loop with php like so: <form method = \"post\" action = \"\" onsubmit =  \" return addBeer('$userID','$id','$name', '$divID')\" >"; $divID = "addButton"; $tempID = $divID . $num; $divID = "#" . $tempID; print"<p id = \"$divID\"> <input type = \"submit\" value = \"Add Beer\" />  <span id=\"loader\"> </span>  </p> </form> "; But When I try and execute the javascript function addBeer I use this line to kill the particular button: $(divID).hide(); The hide does not work

• Answer:

  I won't answer what you asked but you actually don't need different id's.You can just use $(this).parent().hide() and the parent "p" element gets hidden.And bind this with the click event of any button.
