Question

I want to hide a specific div element, the name of which contains $ sign, but I get the following error in firebug:

Syntax error, unrecognized expression: $Frame

jQuery code:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#Button1").click(function() {
    $("#ctl00_content_TabContainer1_TabPanel1_PdEnd$Frame").hide();
})

What’s wrong??

Answer 1

If “$” is legitimate in your selector string you need to use selector special character escape rules

Try:

 $("#ctl00_content_TabContainer1_TabPanel1_PdEnd\\$Frame").hide();

I don’t do a lot in asp but that “$” sure looks supicious
