 Review comment:
   It handles CSS metachars and escapes them with `\` instead of `%`.
   The doc ID is used as ID for some `<div>`. When the ID has chars like `#` or `.`,  JQuery fails because it considers those metachars. E.g. if you want to find element with ID `#foo.bar` your query would be `$('#\#foo\.bar')`
