ID's have to start with a letter like the validator and james said.
You didn't really explain why, you just showed a block of code.
I think I get what you're trying to do but you really shouldn't be
using IDs like that. ID's are a unique way to IDentify an element, not
to get tricky with linking 2 dom nodes together.
I suppose you could replace the # in your ID with some string if you
really want to get it to work this way though
<div id="tab_links">
<a href="#" id="'Jump_to_tab_1'" class="active">slide 1</a>
<div id="tabs">
<div id="tab_1" style="display:block;">
slide 1
The script:
var activeTab = $(this).attr('id')
activeTab = activeTab.replace('Jump_to_",'');
$(activeTab).fadeIn(500);
But I really wouldn't recommend this approach , there are better ways
to find elements. http://docs.jquery.com/Traversing
