BUG: hx-target with special characters fails #2601

Open pragmatta opened 3 months ago

If you have a hx-target that is an id that has special characters like the colon fails because they need to be escaped for document.querySelectorAll.

Same happens on console and you can fix it by adding a \\.

HTML spec allows at least hyphens and colons and dots to be used. https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#:~:text=ID%20and%20NAME%20tokens%20must,periods%20(".").
