Don't use raw text values as the node ids or class names. You end up with all sorts of escaping issues, which you've already encountered judging by all the select("[id=... shenanigans. It also opens you up to XSS attacks and makes the document unnecessarily large. Instead, construct a simple map from text values to generated IDs or class names. The D3 ordinal scales can help you out with this.
