    $('#Nav').addClass($(this).text());

Which takes the breadcrumb navigation text and adds it as a new class to the

Can i use .append to add the text to the ID?

Answer 1

Just change the id attribute:

$('#nav').attr('id','nav' + appendString);

Where appendString contains whatever you want to append.

Answer 2

It should work.

$(this).attr('id', $(this).attr('id') + $(this).text() );

Or whatever you need to do.

Answer 3

Append adds to the content of the element, not its attributes. To do what you're after, I'd use the following:

$('#nav').attr('id', 'nav' + 'appendedString');
