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: stackoverflow.com/questions/70579/… — Bart Vangeneugden

Escape the special characters with \\:

$('#f1\\[sector\\]')

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());
});
