How do you use javascript to handle appended HTML ID's?

Question

This line of javascript assigns a WYSIWYG editor to an element with the HTML ID 'description'.

 new nicEditor({fullPanel : true}).panelInstance('description')

The WYSIWYG editor then overrides the textarea.

 <textarea 

   id="description[<?php echo $pid ?>]" 
   name="description[<?php echo $pid?>]" 

 </textarea>

But the ID tag changes as it iterates through all of the descriptions. The current $pid of the description is appended to the ID tag. (description1, description2 etc.)

How do you modify the javascript to handle each appended ID name?

new nicEditor({fullPanel : true}).panelInstance('description.???')

Answer 1

It doesn't look like niEditor supports assigning to classes, you might be better off using TinyMCE with the selector option and assigning the same class to each textarea.
