I'm updating some of the legacy software we have at my company and
changing much of the JavaScript to jQuery. I'm having a bit of
trouble with a few particular id's however.
I'm trying to access the last select element of a block of code and
retrieve the id like this:
$("#itemForm:standards select:last").attr("id");
itemForm:standards is the id of the block I'm attempting to access,
and I'm using select:last to get the last select element. This
doesn't work however. I tried the same method, but used the class
name rather than the id and the function worked fine.
$(".standardsBlock select:last").attr("id");
I may be mistaken, but I think jQuery thinks I'm attempting to apply a
selector to the id name because of the colon in the name. How would I
go about searching for an id like that? Has anyone had any trouble
with this before?
Any help would be much appreciated.
