[Vtigercrm-developers] illegal HTML5 element ids

[Adam Heinz]

I've recently come across some behavior where some of my jQuery #foo id
selectors are failing to match.  It ends up that some sections of the
vtiger codebase concatenate field label with a static string to create the
element id [1] et al.  This is problematic when the label contains a space
in it, as we now have an illegal HTML5 id [2].  The workaround is to use a
jQuery attribute selector [id='foo bar'].  The fix is... to use fieldname?
 Maybe module+fieldname to avoid collisions?  The blast radius of such a
change is way outside my current scope of work, but definitely worth
thinking about for vtiger 8.
