Klaus is absolutely right.
If you really really really cannot get around this invalid html then seeking
the id as an @attribute seems to work, for
example: $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'']")
Note: the inner quotes in the example are two single quotes right next to
eachother to represent an empty string. You just need to pop your ElementId
variable into the single quotes so you'll end up with something like this:
$("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" + ElementId + "']")
Tip: Include the tag name in the query if you can (I used a DIV in my
example) for better performance, hence not like this if possible:
$("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'']")
