I’ve got such a frustrating question for which I’m convinced there is an easy answer. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find it anywhere! I have a table which I have no control over (SharePoint) and the table ID which has been allocated contains curly brackets:

e.g. <table id="{ACDC3234-D009-4889-931A-FCC069613AB6}-{EF2BF0FD-7927-4194-910F-0FE83EC4F118}"></table>

How can I select the table using JQuery whilst maintaining the brackets?

The code as it stands is:

    $(function(){

$('/{#{ACAC3258-D068-4799-931A-FCC069613AB6}-{EF2BF0FD-7927-4194-910F-0FE83EC4F118}}/').visualize({type: 'bar', width: '420px'});


});

I am trying to use JQuery Graphing Tool, Visualise.

Any help on this would be really greatly appreciated!

Many Thanks!

    The simplest option is to call $(document.getElementById("{ACDC3234-D009-4889-931A-FCC069613AB6}-{EF2BF0FD-7927-4194-910F-0FE83EC4F118}")).

    You can also try escaping the braces with \ characters (which must themselves be escaped in the JS string literal):

    $('#\\{ACDC3234-D009-4889-931A-FCC069613AB6\\}-\\{EF2BF0FD-7927-4194-910F-0FE83EC4F118\\}')
