You certainly can't do it like this. However, using jQuery (it is a jQuery list, after all ;) ), it's fairly simple: <p id="noJavascriptPlaceholder">xyz</p>
Then in the Javascript (forget your document.ready): $( '#noJavascriptPlaceholder' ).attr( 'id', myGlobalVariable ); Of course, if you are well-versed in jQuery selector system, then there is likely a cleaner way to do it than using a placeholder ID. Hope this is useful!
