jQuery fails to grab an element by id if the id contains the "+" chars

While jQuery fails to grab an element by id if the id contains the "+" chars, the document.getElementById() function works and grab the element.

Thanks

As per our docs: 'If you wish to use any of the meta-characters ( such as !"#$%&'()*+,./:;<=>?@[\]^{`{|}~ ) as a literal part of a name, you must escape the character with two backslashes:
'. Please see below for a jsFiddle using + in a selector working fine using two backslashes:  http://jsfiddle.net/6BdDZ/}
