[jQuery] Re: val function for select with 'special character' not working

[syg6]

It was a jQuery version issue. Not sure how old 1.1.2 is but that's
the version I was using. Upgraded to 1.2.1 and all is well.

Thanks!

  In the FAQ it says that if you have an element with a 'special

  select id='app.id'
option...
  /select

  When I try the following:

  $(select#app\\.id).val()

  I get null. These don't work either:

  $(#app\\.id).val()
  $(#app.id).val()
  $(select#app.id).val()

  What am I doing wrong?

  Thanks
