how to get the value and store in the page in jquery?

I have a function to select the row and that comes the selected value in the alert box. Now i want that value to store in the page instead of alert box.

Here is the function,

var generic_lookup_Enr_Rds_Section2009_selected = function(id, to_s) { alert(id + to_s)}

It brings the selected value into the alert box. Istead of alert the value i want to display the value into the page like a label or anything. Is it possible?

var add = function(id, to_s) {
   $(id).html(to_s);
}

You might also want append, prepend or similar.

You basically need to call the function with where you want to text to be. Say you have a span somewhere on your page with a class="placeholder". No you can call add("span.placeholder", "Some text that should be displayed in the span").

id can be any element on your page.
to_s is any valid string or element that should be placed into id from above.

just use jQuery text function:

function putStringInDiv(id, to_s){ $("'#"+id+"'").text(to_s); }

the id should be your div's id. like 

<div id="myDiv"></div>

then calling the function will assign the text into the div:

putStringInDiv('myDiv','some text here');
