Hi, I am not sure if this question relates to Javascript or more to Jquery. And it seems really simple but I am stuck.

I am trying to assign a javascript variable to a jquery DataTables function. After debugging, the problem lies in counter++ not functioning as it should.

1.     [script]
2.     //Not working
3.     
4.     var counter = 0;
5.     function testfunction(){
6.     addTab("addNewTab");
7.     counter++;   
   
8.     alert(counter);
9.     //counter shown as 1   
   
10.     }
11.     $(function() {
12.     
13.     var newId = "#table" + counter;
14.     $(newId).live('dblclick', function () {
15.         alert("test");
16.     });
17.     });
18.     [/script]

$("#table") refers to a table id in my html. However, this does not work. The below version works instead.

1.     [script]
2.     //Working version
3.     $(function() {
4.     //var newId = "#table1"
5.     $("#table1").live('dblclick', function () {
6.         alert("test");
7.     });
8.     });
9.     [/script]

How can I solve this problem? Thanks.
