I am trying to dynamically set a cell id using a cnt counter variable. However, instead of a number, I get the cnt word when viewing page source in browser.
What is wrong
q1TargetVolume.setAttribute('id', `q1TargetVolume-${cnt}`);

1dataRowCell4 = dataRow.insertCell(2); q1TargetVolume = document.createElement("input"); q1TargetVolume.setAttribute('type', 'text'); q1TargetVolume.setAttribute('maxlength', '8'); q1TargetVolume.setAttribute('size', '4'); q1TargetVolume.setAttribute('id', `q1TargetVolume-${cnt}`); q1TargetVolume.setAttribute('value', record.get('q1_target_volume__c')); dataRowCell4.appendChild(q1TargetVolume); – user1082748 Dec 13 '17 at 14:48

I guess you wish to append a count value to the string q1TargetVolume-, and use it as the id for an element. You can try this method.
q1TargetVolume.setAttribute( 'id', 'q1TargetVolume-' + cnt );//cnt is the count value you wish to append

I tried that but if I look at the page source in the browser I will only see the cnt variable name and not the vaalue in the variable. Very fustrating – user1082748 Dec 13 '17 at 17:06

Actually, it is working. I checked the values using the developer tools in Chrome. Thanks – user1082748 Dec 13 '17 at 17:08
