Question

I am using MyTableGrid to show an Excel like control in my webpage.

The cells are referenced with ids like “mtgIC1_0,2” for table 1, column 0, row 2.

Unfortunately, when I try to use the jQuery selector with this id $("#mtgIC1_0,2"), it never works.

I figured it is because of the “,” since it works for any other ids in the page without coma.

Answer 1

ID and NAME tokens must begin with a
letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed
by any number of letters, digits
([0-9]), hyphens (“-“), underscores
(“_”), colons (“:”), and periods (“.”)

However if you escape the comma it should still work

e.g

$('#mtgIC1_0\\,2')
