jQuery Fails when an id has a decimal point

[jwfbcn]

Hello,

When I use the following code I get an undefined position()... when I remove the decimal it works...

<div id="id-343434.34">My id with decimal</div>

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="alert($('#id-343434.34').position()">Find Position</a>

Now removing the decimal: <div id="id-343434">My id withoutdecimal</div>

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="alert($('#id-343434').position()">Find Position</a>

Racked my brain for 5 hours...

You need to escape the characters: ​http://docs.jquery.com/Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_do_I_select_an_element_by_an_ID_that_has_characters_used_in_CSS_notation.3F

You right, sorry... I did search for it in the docs before posting the bug I just didn't find it nor did read all the Faqs... my bad.
