Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: unsupported pseudo: [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you want to use jQuery id selector you need to escape the : with \ and then to escape the \ (double escape)

Here:

$(function() {
    $("#j_idt8\\:beginDateTxt").mobiscroll().date({
        theme: 'android-ics light',
        mode:'scroller', display: 'bottom'
    });
});
