The function doesn't have any code to escape the []'s
Try this one:
function jq(myid) { return '#'+myid.replace(/([:\.\[\]])/g,"\\$1");}
As for use of the [] in id's, I do not believe this has anything to do
with making id's indexable or whatever. At the least not for any of my
reasons to do it.
In the context of programming on the server side I find this perfectly
reasonable:
HTML::labeledInput($label, $name, $value=""); -> <label
for="{$name}">{$label}</label><input type="text" name="{$name}"
id="{$name}" value="{$value}" />
HTML::labeledInput("FooBar", "foobar[1]"); -> <label
for="foobar[1]">FooBar</label><input type="text" name="foobar[1]"
id="foobar[1]" value="" />
name and id serve two different purposes. Name is the only one you can
use to submit an input's data. And id is the only one that works for
making labels work. But I see little value in forcing extra unnecessary
inputs, or rewriting id's in some messy way that makes it harder to do
things client side. So I wouldn't doubt that there are html libaries
that do this kind of thing.
