datepicker doesn't handle inputs with single quotes in id

[alh84001]

Example of this is on ​http://jsfiddle.net/h9G3v/4/

There is no way to pick a date on second and third input field. You can invoke the datepicker, but if you press on any field, nothing happens.

I pinpointed this to _generateHtml() method, line:

(unselectable ? '' : ' onclick="DP_jQuery_' + dpuuid + '.datepicker._selectDay(\'#' + inst.id /* etc */;

inst.id string can't be pasted directly into selector because it contains only two slashes, which basically just escapes the slash, and does not escape the single quote. If the inst.id is modified to have three slashes before the quote than the selector works as expected.

jQuery version: tested on 1.4.2, 1.6.4, browsers: IE 9, Firefox 4, OS: Win 7

Hi,

I put your example in a local file on my box, and i get a date picker for each input with FF 7 (linux).

@ghostd, the problem occurs when you select a date, not when you focus the text field.

This was fixed with ​https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/commit/b92965a78121534c113b1d717a75cee728548520 in 1.8.23.

You can see the issue here - ​http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/3xGUp/. If you uncomment the master branch files this works fine.
