[Prototype-core] Re: : in '#myForm:myText' is not recognized when using CSS selector function

2007-07-11 Thread Andrew Dupont

Have you tried *[id='myForm:myName']? That ought to work, though it
wouldn't surprise me if it did not.

A colon is a valid character in ID attributes, so it should be
supported. Part of me thinks that the attribute selector approach (if
it works) would be sufficient -- but another part of me thinks we
should follow jQuery's lead here and just special-case the double-
escaped colon in all contexts.

(Out of curiosity, what happens when you try to target #myForm:myText
with a CSS selector? The use of the colon to denote pseudoclass would
seem to be a problem in CSS as well.)

Cheers,
Andrew

 various JS frameworks interpret ':' inside a CSS selector function.
 I don't know if it's easy to implement, but would definitely be a good
 addition (as of now only jQuery understands such syntax).

 Do you think it's worth adding something like that?

Andrew,

I just did some quick testing

(the results are printed into firebug console)

It looks like using attribute to reference such things pretty much
solves the problem : )
