How do I select an element with special characters in the ID?

by

The problem is that brackets have special meaning in CSS (as attribute selectors) and dots do too, as class selectors. Try $.escapeSelector:

$('#' + $.escapeSelector('Punteggi[@counter].Descrizione'))

This will escape the selector so the special characters don’t affect the selection. You could also try using an attribute selector and wrapping that in quotes:

$('[id="Punteggi[@counter].Descrizione"]')

This will literally match that ID and won’t treat any of the special characters as special characters.
