Cannot Select by $(elem#id) if there are other element with same id in IE

Suppose we have 2 elements "a" and "div" and both have id "myId",

and when i'm trying to selec div as follow:

alert($("div#myID").html())

it alerts "null", but when i'm changing id of "a" element every thing is ok.

I saw this problem in IE8

jQuery does not support invalid html. By definition, an id is unique. Having duplicate id's is also against the html spec (all versions).

You should use classes, more than likely.
