Answer 1

Using two Backslashes it´s ok, it´s work. But if you are using a dynamic name, I mean, a variable name, you will need to replace characters.

If you don´t wan´t to change your variables names you can do this:

var variable="namewith.andother";    
var jqueryObj = $(document.getElementById(variable));

and than you have your jquery object.
