Jquery newbie question help with appending a variable
So I have the following function :
function getletter(){
var letter=$.trim($(this).html());
window.location='searchresults.php?querystring='+letter+'&querydesc=Name Like &querytype=1';
}
in which i want to take the letter variable out and use it in another function to append:
$("#main h2 a").append('+letter+');
Its working if I just put in a string but cant think of way in order for this variable to be taken from the other function and be displayed here.
