Answer 1

The selector #abc.def will look for an element whose id attribute is ‘abc’ and which also has the CLASS ‘def’, since . denotes class.

In short, don’t use . in ID attributes – it will cause you problems for the above reason. If the code is unchangeable you will need to select it in different fashion:

var el = $('[id="abc.def"]');
