Html element's ids contain colon which screws css

[franck93]

Apparently firefox 2.0.07 is not able to apply id based css styles (select#mySelectsId) if the id contains colons (:)

Unfortunately JSF and possibly jboss seam tend to generate ids using colons.

has anyone faced this issue and resolved it?
