    I'm not sure that's a valid id.... – Xyan Ewing Mar 13 '12 at 21:45
  • @XyanEwing I believe, it is a valid ID in HTML5: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/70579/what-are-valid-values-for-the-id-attribute-in-html - although I would try my best to 'normalize' them in my own apps – Alex Pakka Mar 13 '12 at 21:49
  • The problem is that the dot is used as a class selector making it look for a css class named `1053`. The comma makes it look for a tag named `name`. – jgauffin Mar 13 '12 at 21:50

    @XyanEwing AFAIK, the only disallowed characters in ID attributes are space characters ([HTML5 spec](http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/elements.html#the-id-attribute)). Though it's certainly not a very *sensible* ID... – lonesomeday Mar 13 '12 at 21:50

    @lonesomeday: Thanks for that link! I haven't been keeping up with the changes in HTML5, now I guess `id="1♥♦♣♠☠"` is valid... – Wesley Murch Mar 13 '12 at 22:05

Just checked, works:

$('.publish_post').click (function(){                        
                        alert (this.id);    
                        alert ($('#1329456738\\.1053\\,name').text());
})

This might be more consistent:

alert ($('[id="' + this.id + '"]').text());
