Finally, an aside on not having control over the HTML source:
I ran into this issue when using the radio_button_tag helper method in
Rails, which inconveniently used the name of the input as the id -
unhelpful, as all the radio buttons in a group have the same name in

I know I'm a little late on this one, but as the person who originally
filed the bug report, I thought I'd put in a word...
Personally, I'm happy with leaving the $() function untouched. People
who get caught out by it will now be able to see what the problem is
and what the workarounds are, and
