[jquery-dev] weird issue with id string I ran into

[atula]

Here's  a block of codes I got issue with while upgrading from 1.2.6
to 1.3

//this works in both 1.2.6 & 1.3//
if (state==='on') {
                if (!$('#sr_ajax_loader').length) {
                        var $sR = $('#search-result-container');
                    $('<div id="sr_ajax_loader" />')
                        .css({
                                width: $sR.width() + 'px',
                                height: $sR.height() + 'px',
                                top: $sR.offset().top + 'px',
                                left: $sR.offset().left + 'px',
                                opacity: '0.7'
                        }).appendTo('#content').fadeIn(); //brings up ajax 
loading
graphic
                }
        } else {
                $('#sr_ajax_loader').fadeOut(function () { $(this).remove(); });
        }


//this throws error in 1.3 but worked in 1.2.6: uncaught exception:
Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #//


        if (state==='on') {
                if (!$('#get-search-results-ajax-load').length) {
                        var $sR = $('#search-result-container');
                    $('<div id="get-search-results-ajax-load" />')
                        .css({
                                width: $sR.width() + 'px',
                                height: $sR.height() + 'px',
                                top: $sR.offset().top + 'px',
                                left: $sR.offset().left + 'px',
                                opacity: '0.7'
                        }).appendTo('#content').fadeIn(); //brings up ajax 
loading
graphic
                }
        } else {
                $('#get-search-results-ajax-load').fadeOut(function () { $
(this).remove(); });
        }
