Subject: another refinement of the queryupdater - googlemap - queryupdater trio consistency

another refinement of the queryupdater - googlemap - queryupdater trio consistency
this time we do not use flat_id anymore, and suggest to always use selectors like
$(“[my_id=‘some!text:with+any*char’]”)
rather than
$(“#some_id”)
because the latter is very restrictive on the character set and does not accept quoting - at least I haven’t found any
