I haven't tested this, but try
$( document.getElementById('123.123') )
Also note that according to the specification IDs must start with a letter
([a-zA-Z])... It sounds like even changing a period is difficult enough so
this might be a similarly difficult task given your code/data. I remember
(only vaguely) in some situations that deviating from the ID spec causes
issues. Good luck!
