Javascript pass a variable from function call to innerHtml
<p>Ok, this might be an easy one, im just not sure how to do it.  I have a main function where it's taking in an "id".  This id is unique and I want to pass it over to another function that is doing a count for me and returns that count to an innerHtml span tag.</p>

<p>Reason for this is because I can have 5 of these open at the same time, but they will have the same span id name "editCommentsCounter"...I want them to be like "editCommentsCounter-id"</p>

<pre><code>function editCommentToggle( id )
{
    theRow = document.getElementById("id"+id);
    //user = theRow.cells[0].innerHTML;
    //date = theRow.cells[1].innerHTML;
    com = theRow.cells[2].innerText ;
    comLength = theRow.cells[2].innerText.length ;

    idx = 2;
    maxlength = 250;
    count = maxlength - comLength;


        // Comment field
        cell = theRow.cells[idx];
        while( cell.childNodes.length &gt; 0 ) cell.removeChild(cell.childNodes[0]);

        spanTag = document.createElement("span"); 
        spanTag.innerHTML = "You have &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span id='editCommentsCounter'&gt;"+count+"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; characters left.&lt;br/&gt;"; 
        cell.appendChild(spanTag);
        element = document.createElement("textarea");
        element.id="commentsTextArea-"+id;
        element.rows="3";
        element.value = com;
        element.style.width = "400px";
        element.maxLength = "250";
        element.onfocus = element.onkeydown = element.onkeyup = function(){return characterCounterEdit('editCommentsCounter', maxlength, this);}; 
        cell.appendChild(element);
</code></pre>

<p>}</p>

<p>Basically I want to take :</p>

<pre><code>   spanTag.innerHTML = "You have &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span id='editCommentsCounter'&gt;"+count+"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; characters left.&lt;br/&gt;"; 
</code></pre>

<p>and make that into something like `span id='editCommentsCounter-' + id</p>

<p>so when I call this:</p>

<p><code>element.onfocus = element.onkeydown = element.onkeyup = function(){return characterCounterEdit('editCommentsCounter', maxlength, this);};</code> </p>

<p>I call this above with editCommentsCounter with that id attached to it</p>

<p>See what Im saying?</p>
