I think you misunderstood me. As a CSS selector, '#quantity.noOfUnits1232' means "the element with ID 'quantity' and class 'noOfUnits1232'", while the selector '#quantity\.noOfUnits1232' refers to an element with a period in its HTML ID. If JQuery cannot handle a reference to an HTML ID with a period in it, then that's a JQuery bug since it is a valid ID.

It's not a jquery bug at all. The '.' character is interpreted as a css class. So, the $("#quantity.noOfUnits1232") translates in element with ID
"quantity" and css class "noOfUnits1232".
Also, I do not see any problem which can be caused by magical handling of markup id. (at least one core developer was agree with this point of view).

Did you try escaping the '.'? Something like $("#quantity

I refer to Wicket id's with periods in several CSS rules with no
problem. The period is a valid character in HTML id's and I strongly
disagree with the magical id mangling behavior you suggest. If JQuery
can't handle valid HTML id's, that's a JQuery bug and not a Wicket bug.

This is about how wicket generates dynamically markupID.

I have, for instance, the following markup component:

<input wicket:id="quantity.noOfUnits" />

The generated markupId for this component looks like the following:
quantity.noOfUnits1232 .

I suggest to escape any css valid specifiers from the generated
markupId, by
replacing them with something else (for instance '_' character).

The problem appear when I am trying to identify the component by
it's id
using some js library (like jQuery) and as a consequence the result
of this
query: $("#quantity.noOfUnits1232") is invalid.

Thank you!

Alex.
