Hello Tony,

I examined all places of the code of jqGrid where id selectors like $(“#” + any text) are used and made correction.

I hate GitHub web interface, “Git Gui” and “Git Bash” (or msysGit) because I couldn't found simple way to post some selected commits as the new pull request. In the pull request are merged many changes even the changes which I pooled from the main code of jqGrid (your code).

Nevetheless the GitHub can be used to documentate all the changes which I suggested:

• first of all I suggest to include ” ” (blank or space) to the list of the charackters which will be escaped (see here). CSS allows to include any escaped characters in the selectors (see here). jQuery UI just escapes any character which is not digit, underscore (_), hyphen (-) or english letter (A-Za-z) (see the line). I think that it's better to include explicitly all the characters which we need to escape.
• the current code of jqGrid stay the question about escaping of p.pager and p.toppager (see here). After analysing of the code which uses p.pager
