Hi, I'm using jQuery in a BEA 8 Portal solution (yeah - I know its quite old), but jQuery fails to handle the rather weird looking ID's generated by the BEA Portal. At first I thought it was a bug in the portal software, but it turns out its both BEA and jQuery which fails.
Current jQuery (1.3.1) quickExp : /^[^<]*(<(.|\s)+>)[^>]*$|^#([\w-]+) $/, But as stated by the W3C docs: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/types.html#type-name <quote> ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods ("."). </quote> So I have changed the quickExp to be: quickExpr=/^[^<]*(<(.|\s)+>)[^>]*$|^#([\w-_\.]+)$/, which actual is not QUITE accurate as it should be something like quickExpr=/^[^<]*(<(.|\s)+>)[^>]*$|^#([a-zA-Z][\w-_\.\:]+)$/, Cheers, Lars Borup Jensen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
