Passing a variable to a jquery selector

This works:

function rowColors(){
     $("table#remotes th").css("background-color", "#202020");
     $("table#remotes tr").css("background-color", "#484848");
     $("table#remotes tr:visible:odd").css("background-color", "#333333");
 }

How can I make this work with a variable table id? This doesn't work: 

function rowColors(tblid){
    $("table#"+tblid+" th").css("background-color", "#202020");
    $("table#"+tblid+" tr").css("background-color", "#484848");
    $("table#"+tblid+" tr:visible:odd").css("background-color", "#333333");
}

rowColors(remotes);

Maybe because remotes is a variable and not a string

rowColors('remotes');
