Space character is not valid for ID attribute

[Yasen]

Hello,

I'm using CHtml::getIdByName($name). However it does not replace spaces which are not valid for ID attributes. If ID contains spaces, the element cannot be selected by jQuery also. Thank you.

Spaces in IDs aren't valid. That's true. Still you can select ids with spaces using jQuery:

$("[id='id with spaces']").show();

Yeah, but I think atleast the core classes should generate valid html.

Thanks for the hint samdark :)

@samdark, @qiangxue should we close this ticket (leave as it is) or add the check for spaces too (convert spaces to _ or even empty)

I don't know under which situation we will see names containing spaces. But
since the fix is trivial, I think we can convert spaces into _.

I guess this can happen if the developer calls this method with some custom values... agree with you to fix this as I don't see why would anybody insist in having spaces in the name.

Will fix this asap.
