# Modify before_widget parameter

 * I’ve made a plugin and when i register it
 * `register_sidebar_widget('Example', 'widget_Example');`
 * on the frontend side i obtain the following:
 *     ```
       <div id="Example" class="widget_style">
       PLUGIN CONTENT
       </div>
       ```
   
 * I know that ID and CLASS (into DIV) are assigned with before_widget instance,
   but i’d like to know if it’s possible to define, inside the plugin code, the 
   value of ID tag.
 * I’d like to have this
 *     ```
       <div id="WHAT I WANT HERE" class="widget_style">
       PLUGIN CONTENT
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Is it possible?
    thanks

 * An easier way: Have your plugin create a nested div with a custom ID.
 *     ```
       <div id="Example"...>
          <div id="your plugin prints this div"
          additional plugin content
          </div>
       </div>
       ```
