Appending a character to end of a var's value?

[Mechphisto]

Let's say I have two DIV tags with the ID's "block1" and "block1b".
I have a JS function to hide one and show the other.
I want to tell the JS to use the pre-determined ID for a 2nd process,
but add the "b" to the end of the value in order to affect the 2nd ID.
How do I do that?

I've tried:

var e = document.getElementById(i);
if (e) {
e.style.display = 'block';

var g = e.value+b;
g.style.display = 'none';
}
and variations on that, like:
var g = e."b";
g.style.display = 'none';
but nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Liam

I have no idea what you mean by "a real name", seriously. Was that an
insult?
And I originally posted under that email address erroneously. I don't
want crawlers to pick up that address for spam and realized the
mistake too late.
I tried to use Google Groups to recall the message as soon as I
noticed it...but I figure that it must have already been picked up by
some newsgroup clients. Sincere apologies for that.

Please trim your quotes as explained and recommended in e.g. the FAQ.

I have no idea what you mean by "a real name", seriously.

Well, the short variant of the name in your ID card, passport, or
certificate of birth. Your *real* name as opposed to your *nick* name.

Was that an insult?

As indicated by the `please', it was a polite request. No offense meant.

And I originally posted under that email address erroneously. I don't

Sorry for helping the crawlers, then. I have already removed my message
from my news server and GG in order to counteract negative effects. (I
should have replied to this via e-mail only in the first place.)

Yes, Google Groups (G2/1.0) is well-known to be good for Usenet research,
but inadequate for posting. Try Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.1x or KNode
0.10.x instead.

Sincere apologies for that.
Accepted.
