jQuery alert with an array of id

Question

I've this code example, to define my problem : jsfiddle.net/Architecte/KSDCM/

Can you help me to call the select in question?

Do you know why I can not call an id that contains hooks? Do I need to perform a specific action to do this?

In fact if I renommme selct my id in a "normal", everything works perfectly.

But for me to validate my post later in this call, I have to keep these tables up.

For your `name` attribute, you can use `[]` perfectly. They are not really allowed for `id` attributes: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/70579/what-are-valid-values-for-the-id-attribute-in-html — Bart Vangeneugden, Oct 26 '11 at 13:24

Like Tetaxas said, you can either escape special characters in the id, or use this selector instead

$('select[id="f1[sector]"]').html();

Here's a fiddle.

use

$('#newtechnicalsheet').click(function() {
    alert($('select[id="f1[sector]"]').html());
});

or

$('#newtechnicalsheet').click(function() {
    alert($('select[name="f1[sector]"]').html());
});
