[jQuery] Escaping colons in $() selection

[jQuery] Escaping colons in $() selection

Is it possible to have;
<div id="colon:blow">...</div>
and select it with $("colon:blow"); ?
I realize that XPath uses the ":" for predicates. For now, I've been
using $(document.getElementById("colon:blow"); as a workaround.
