Alexandru Objelean commented on WICKET-995:
-------------------------------------------
Wicket already does a lot of magic, because it generates unique markup id by
appending some number. The way I see the purpose of Component#getMarkupId
method is to ensure that the element ID is really unique. Thus, it doesn't
matter if I have "field.index" or "field_index" because the generated markupID
will be different for each component (for instance: filed_index123 &
field_index124).
> getMarkupId generates ID which contains special characters which should be
> escaped or replaced

> Key: WICKET-995
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-995
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: wicket
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0-beta3
> Reporter: Alexandru Objelean
> Assignee: Igor Vaynberg
> Fix For: 1.3.0-beta4
>
>
> This is about how wicket generates dynamically markupID.
> I have, for instance, the following markup component:
> <input wicket:id="quantity.noOfUnits" />
> The generated markupId for this component looks like the following:
> quantity.noOfUnits1232 .
> I suggest to escape any css valid specifiers from the generated markupId, by
> replacing them with something else (for instance '_' character).
> The problem appear when I am trying to identify the component by it's id
> using some js library (like jQuery) and as a consequence the result of this
> query: $("#quantity.noOfUnits1232") is invalid.
