 * I think your localized script assignments are listed before the script is loaded
   so that the script defaults take precedence. Check your page’s HTML source to
   confirm. It may just be a matter of reversing the order of localize and enqueue.
 * In any case, confirm the assignments have the correct values and they occur after
   the script is loaded. If all is correct, there’s a problem with the script itself.
   Check you browser console for errors and resolve any listed.
 * If the assignments are not correct, there’s a problem somewhere in PHP. Whatever
   the problem, do tests to reduce where the problem must lie. Continue doing so
   and you will eventually reduce the scope so much that the problem can be identified.

   some thing like get element by id from PHP file to JavaScript file
