 Good call. For anyone who is wondering what is valid in an ID:

Re: [jQuery] search for id with '/' character

2006-10-07 Thread Su 
I'm curious: Why is everybody trying to fix the selector problem, 
rather than pointing out the ID is invalid in the first place?

Dexter: Get rid of the slash altogether. Problem solved.

You might be able to work around this with the various suggestions 
others have made, but if your document isn't valid before you start 
applying scripting, you've leaving the door open for future problems.

Ah. Blame someone else. I see *grin*
It /is/ convenient that jQ can deal with this; I just found it strange 
no one had at least pointed it out. Workarounds are nice, but the *real* 
problem is that the HTML is just wrong, and that should be addressed 
first, if at all possible.

 that JQ can handle messy htmls, instead of just well formed xhtml. I

I guess $('input').attr('id');

Your problem is that you prefixed the input selector with #. This
works:

$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]/bar]').val();

No, that doesn't work, and I'm assuming it has something to do with the
forward slash being an XPath selector.

No, the slash is an XPath selector. That expression translates to All 
items named bar which are a direct child of #foo, or as a CSS selector: 
#foobar.
