For the second value - the one with the period in it - take a closer look what the selector looks like after the variable has been evaluated: "#exatati.intranet" In CSS a period has special meaning and denotes a class selector. Thus the selector "#exatati.intranet" will match an element with the id "exatati" and the class "intranet". Not exactly what you want.
