I have 2 variables.

var a = 1;
var b = 2;

Now I have 2 input boxes with name 'form-1-a' and 'form-1-b'.

I need to put variables in these input boxes. Please look at below code as it is not working.

$("input[name^='form-']").val(eval($(this).attr('name').split('-')[2]));

Though entire code is bit complex but simplified and it does not seem to work without any error message.

Javascript is fun and pain at same time. Below code worked.

$("input[name^='form-']").each(function(){
  $(this).val(eval($(this).attr('name').split('-')[2]))
});
