Error displayed while trying to use an id prefixed by '$$' for autocomplete

[sarina]

Hi, I am trying to use autocomplete. It works well with input id's in plain text but gives an error mentioned below if my id is prefixed by $$ E.g 1:

<input id="tags" />

works well

2:

<input id="$$Cod_test" /> 'Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #$$Cod_test'.

Kindly suggest.

You need to escape your selector. See ​http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/ and if you have questions please use the forums or Stack Overflow.
