How to get id of element in jquery dynamically

Question

i have code like this

function slideelement(element1)
{
  $("#"+element1).slidein();
}

it is not working

Answer 1

It is not slidein() but slideDown():

function slideelement(element1)
{
  $("#" + element1).slideDown();
}

Answer 2

If you are passing in a DOM element, you can just wrap it with a jQuery object like so:

function slideelement(element1)
{
  $(element1).slideDown();
}

If you're passing in an ID string, then the code you have should be working and you're probably passing an incorrect string.
