A third-party control creates an element with an id that looks like:

 aspxgv_1803_0_cell1_9_Attribute1^ubd

I need to get the value of this element but jquery seems to have issues with the illegal “^” in the id.

 var fieldId = 'aspxgv_1803_0_cell1_9_Attribute1^ubd';
 var fieldValue = $('#' + fieldId).val();  // <-------- function stops

How can I get the value of this element?

    If you want a jQuery object of a DOM element you can always just pass the element to the $ function rather than a selector.

    var fieldId = 'aspxgv_1803_0_cell1_9_Attribute1^ubd';
var fieldValue = $(document.getElementById(fieldId)).val();

    Here’s an example using this code to return the html of the jQuery object. http://jsfiddle.net/AZgwm/
