id name

Hi,

Since the Id name of my text field is compose of a ".", the code doesnt work. See example bellow, since changing the name of the id will invoke major work since its relate to many other external code. I was wondering if a alternative exist?

Thanks.

<input type="text" id="product.name">

jQuery(function($){
$("#product.name").mask("99/99/9999",{placeholder:" "});
});
