Can i take a variable ID in html input tag element?

Question

i have been trying to add a variable into the html input tag but its giving error

<% String x = "amol"; %>
<input type="button" name="test" value="Edit" id="<%=x%>"/>

this is giving error . please suggest

error --> cannot enter white space in ID tool --> Netbeans IDE

@pawel is probably right, but for future reference: *"this is giving error"* is not useful. Say **what** error you're getting, and from what tool. — T.J. Crowder, Dec 02 '14 at 11:49
Please copy the error, and print it ether in the comments, or edit your question. — Benjamin Karlog, Dec 02 '14 at 11:55
What do you mean by "add a variable into the html input tag"? You mean displaying this variable value in the input tag or you mean setting the id of the input to the variable value? — drgPP, Dec 02 '14 at 11:58
it is giving error in Netbeans saying it dosen't allow whitespaces — amol, Dec 02 '14 at 16:23
@drgPP yes i mean setting the id of the input tag to a variable value — amol, Dec 02 '14 at 16:24

Remove the " before value field

Modified Code :

<input type="button" name="test" value="Edit" id="<%=x%>"/>
