Jquery read element attribute id with square brackets [ ]

To use any of the meta-characters ( such as !”#$%&’()*+,./:;<=>?@[\]^`{|}~ ) as a literal part of a name, it must be escaped with with two backslashes: \\. For example, an element with id=”foo.bar”, can use the selector $(“#foo\\.bar”).

Example:

	$("#news_image\\["+no+"\\]")
