If the table name is example:test datatables does not work

kulkarni_ash

I am trying to add datatables to one JSF project, and there is a table with table name as form:tableName, which is how JSF creates id

If the table name has colon : in it, looks like datatables does not work

actually the error is in Jquery function Sizzle.filter
any ideas how to get around this issue

I think i was able to solve this by using this method
$('#example\\:test').dataTable();

Found this from a quick google search:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/122238/handling-a-colon-in-an-element-id-in-a-css-selector#656463

It looks like a double backslash is needed:
