First sorry for the errors in my example. Braces was a typo. Div with name attribute was an error also. My real issue is with a select tag.
Anyway...while creating a sample page I have found that the problem is different than I thought. It seems the problem is that jQuery cannot find elements having an ID with dots in it. For example $ ('#Foo.Bar') will not select <div id="Foo.Bar"> Is this by design? An issue with JS itself? NOTE: I am using jQuery with MS MVC, which has HTML helpers that create tags with IDs with dots in them. WebForms replaces dot with underscores, so I wonder if JS itself has issues with IDs with dots? On Oct 13, 6:46 pm, Dave Methvin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As Erik says, a sample page would help.
