This has already been discussed here in ticket #143. CSS selectors don't support those characters for selection (since they're used elsewhere). However, CSS does allow you to use a backslash to escape characters. In the SVN version of jQuery you can now escape characters in IDs, for example:

$("#foo\:bar")
