To select an element with an id="#foo.bar:filter" in CSS you would use:
#foo\.bar\:filter { /* ... */ }
jQuery uses the same syntax (though make sure you're using a newer,
1.2+ version).
When using a "literal" string (that is "string") you will have to
escape the "\"s because of the way JavaScript works, so the end result
would be:
jQuery('#foo\\.bar\\:filter')
