How do I get jQuery to select elements with a . (period) in their ID?

Question

public School
{
  public Int32 ID { get; set; }
  publig String Name { get; set; }
  public Address

You can't use a jQuery id selector if the id contains spaces. Use an attribute selector:

$('[id=foo bar]').show();

If possible, specify element type as well:

$('div[id=foo bar]').show();
