Hi Philip,
What you need to do in this case is concatenate the variable, so that
it's not part of the string. Try this:
$("div[class*=" + $i + "]");
That is provided that $i represents the className and not a jQuery
object or a DOM element with that className.
I hope that helps.

Hi there,
Here is my conundrum, im trying select a div whos class matches that
of a variable ($i) so that I can then apply an effect to it. The div
actually has two classes attached to it but only 1 matches the
variable (if that makes sense). I've tried such things as $
("div[class*=$i]") amongst other things but haven't had any luck. I'm
still pretty new to jQuery but managing to get my head around the
basics at least.
Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Philip
