I am a newbie to wordpress ... please help ... cannot get this code to work ... the [datatable} shortcode is a plugin shortcode (so it does exist)

Worpress page:

<label>Client ID Nr</label>   <input id="clientidnr" name="clientidnr" placeholder="9999" type="text">   <input type="button" style="background-color:#6D4053;color:white;" onclick="customidnr(0, 'shortc')" name="submit" value="Submit" />

CUSTOMIZED JS:

function customidnr(idnr) {
  var input;
  if (idnr !== undefined && idnr !== 0) {
    input = idnr;
    storeDataidnr(input);
    // alert("Storing idnr data1: " + input);
  } else {
    input = document.getElementById("clientidnr").value;
    storeDataidnr(input);
    // alert("Storing idnr data2: " + input);
  }

   jQuery.post(
    ajaxurl, 
    {
        'action': 'custom_id_nr',
        'idnr': input
    }, 
    function(response){
        alert('The server responded: ' + response);
    }
);

}

function storeDataidnr(clientidnr) {
  alert("ML/TF Risk data will be displayed for ID Nr:  " + clientidnr);
  sessionStorage.setItem("idnr", clientidnr);
}

I think your "do_shortcode" is not parsing the variable.

Try with this code:

echo do_shortcode('[datatable id=30 var1="'.$idnr.'"]');

* Note the ' before and after the .
