Description
Hi,
While developing an app I've tried select a dom element using $ function. The problem is that Jquery seems not to be able to handle long ID-s, if I use aaa=document.getElementById('Q29sZHBsYXkgLSBUaGUgU2NpZW50aXN0fHxodHRwOi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tL3dhdGNoP3Y9VjNLZDdJR1B5ZWd8fHY=').innerHTML; it works fine and I get the text inside,
but if I use $('#Q29sZHBsYXkgLSBUaGUgU2NpZW50aXN0fHxodHRwOi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tL3dhdGNoP3Y9VjNLZDdJR1B5ZWd8fHY=').remove(); (or anything else instead of remove)it doesn't work, JQuery returns in Firebug " Object length=0 prevObject=Object jquery=1.2.6 ".
I hope it's not me doing somethig wrong...
By the way I wish you a Happy New Year and keep up the good job!!
The problem you are having appears to be because of the '=' sign at the end of your id. That is an illegal character in an id. While it may work at times there is no guarentee and should be expected to work with jquery.
