How do we get value of field with Id using jquery
<p>I am trying to get value of a input hidden field with an id like this</p>

<pre><code>   leadConversionPage:leadConversionForm:pBConvertLead:pbSectionLeadSection:pbsiAccountName:accountLookup_lkid
</code></pre>

<p>I tried using </p>

<pre><code>$("#leadConversionPage:leadConversionForm:pBConvertLead:pbSectionLeadSection:pbsiAccountName:accountLookup_lkid").val();
</code></pre>

<p>but thats throwing an error </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: unsupported pseudo:
  leadConversionForm</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I dont have control of how the id is been created. This is the way id is generated by salesforce </p>
