Question

I have an IP managing script with ranges and jquery search to check if IP is already used, I add class to each row for the IPs for that range, like this

<tr class="table_176 213.5.176.120 213.5.176.121 213.5.176.122 213.5.176.123 213.5.176.124" id="213.5.176.120-124" style="display:none;">
                        <td class="actualip" align="center" >213.5.176.120-124</td>
                        <td >5</td>
                        <td colspan="2" align="center" ><a href="https://www.racksrv.com/portal/staff/clientssummary.php?userid=637" target="_blank"> Mike Burkett</a></td>
                        <td align="center" ><a href="https://www.racksrv.com/portal/staff/clientshosting.php?userid=637&id=1537">RS96</a></td>
                        <td ></td>
                        <td align="center" ><a href="https://www.racksrv.com/portal/staff/supporttickets.php?action=open&userid=637" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.racksrv.com/portal/staff/images/icons/ticketsopen.png" alt="Open Ticket for " title="Open Ticket for " width="16" height="16"/></a></td>
                    </tr>

And use the following JQ

$('#search').click(function() {
        $found = false;
        $ip = $('#value').val();
        if ( $("."+$ip).length ){
            alert("found");
        }

        if($found == false) {
            alert('The IP you searched for was not found!');
        }
    });

But this isn’t working? Anyone got any ideas?

my own mistake was answered by

“$(‘.213.5.176.120’) <=> class=”213 5 176 120″ Dots in classnames should be avoided (or escaped in the jQ selector) ”
