 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')

  Hello jQuery Coders!

  Since it is allowed to use ., :  in the id-Tag (http://www.w3.org/
  TR/html4/types.html#h-6.2)

  I wonder how I select it while using  the jQuery Selector Syntax?

  jQuery('#foo.bar:filter') doesn't work since it means element with id
  foo and class bar and filter data?

  is this a bug a feature or a problem?

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')
