Grid fails if '$' sign is used in element ID

[bouwerParticipant]

Hi:

If jqxGrid is applied to an element with any special character in its id, the grid fails to initialize and results in the following console error:

SCRIPT5022: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #wrapper$jqxgrid
jquery-1.9.1.js, line 4421 character 2

Here is a jsFiddle using an API example from the web site (I just added the ‘$’ character to the <div> id): Example

In the context where I’m using jqWidgets I cannot change the way that element ID’s are generated (i.e. remove the special characters). Is there any workaround for this issue or something I’m missing?

Hi bouwer,

There isn’t a workaround. We would suggest you to do not use special characters for ID.
