How do you assign width to a div that is user-defined? I have a function that for simplicity's sake is the following:

drawHistogram(..., widthVar, heightVar, canvasName) {
        $("#" + canvasName).css({
            width: widthVar, // assigns div width
            height: heightVar // assigns div height
        });
        myHistogram.width = widthVar;
        myHistogram.height = heightVar;
}

Currently I can't actually use canvasName in the myHistogram.width/height statement, so I have to assign the div as myHistogram or whatever is written in the xx.width/height statement. How can I replace myHistogram with canvasName? I tried canvasName.width/height, but it hasn't worked. Thanks!
