Solution 1
Try the following:
var id = 354;
CKEDITOR.instances['textarea'+id].insertHtml('<p>Whatever</p>');
Solution 2
You can use array notation:
CKEDITOR.instances['textarea' + id].insertHtml('<p>Whatever</p>');
Solution 3
var id = 354;
CKEDITOR.instances["textarea" + id].insertHtml('<p>Whatever</p>');
Since instances
is an object, and objects essentially are hash tables you can access them with the array notation.

I am using CKEditor, and, when referring to the CKEditor instance, I need to use a variable. But, since calling the instance is a object, I am really not sure how to do this.
I am using:
CKEDITOR.instances.textarea123.insertHtml('<p>Whatever</p>');
The issue is, I need 123 to be a variable, because I need to change the instance based on the editor page that is loaded.
So, how can I use a variable in an object name?
For obvious reasons the following does not work, but I need to achieve what it is "pretending" to do:
var id = 354; CKEDITOR.instances.textarea+id+.insertHtml('<p>Whatever</p>');
