Getting Element with period in the id name

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 27.2007

Hello Everybody! I have a big problem:
I have to give some style for a page which is parsed with a robust perl CMS system. But there are some element id’s which I can’t get from css by it’s selector, because it contains a period (like <span id=”name.joe”>…</span> )

Is there any way to get these elements without hacking the perl code?

Thank’s for the answers!

@ryanbutlerJun 27.2007 — I don't think there is besides as you said modifying the Perl script. Though I don't think doing this would be terribly difficult. Do an if statement checking for all selectors which have a period in it and modify the output to strip the period out and join them as one word.
