Description
Hi,
on page[1] you can see the proposed jq script to escape period and colon characters as they are problematic as css selectors: I found that even $,{ and } need to be correctly escaped.
Here is the proposed change:
function jq(myId) { return '#' + myId.replace(/(:|\\.|\\{|\\}|\\$)/g,'\\\\$1'); }
Please let me know what you think about this change.
Thanks
Bye
Piero
