[jQuery] a selector does not in safari

[hobbyman]

I am programming in ASP.NET and using a "hidden" server control which
basically creates a hidden input in the browser.

The only problem with that is that the client ID is or can be dynamic.

So I have this selector that works in Firefox and IE:

$("[id$='_hidCanEdit']").val()

This DOES NOT work in Safari or Chrome.

I'm using jQuery 1.3.2.
