Jquery not seeing classes set by its self

Jquery not seeing classes set by its self

Hi, I'm new to jQuery/JavaScript and I wondering if this is because it can only see classes/id that are set on page load.


I'm using the code below to give elements on my page individual id's.

  1. $(".text").each(function(count){
                var new_id = "txt_" + count;
                $(this).attr("id", new_id);
    });



but when I try and call this id later in the code, it doesn't work.
