Describe the issue

#35566 didn't fix things for all weird IDs. The test case addition below causes the error in the issue title.

@larseggert this is weird...

did not take the time to look at, but If I copy-paste:

const parseSelector = selector => {
   if (selector && window.CSS && window.CSS.escape) {
     // document.querySelector needs escaping to handle IDs (html5+) containing for instance /
     selector = selector.replaceAll(/#([^\s"#']+)/g, (match, id) => '#' + CSS.escape(id))
   }

   return selector
 }

in my JS Console in Firefox, and then I type:

parseSelector("#div-2.1")
"#div-2\\.1" 

=> Looks like the correct result to me

Hm. Apply the patch and run the tests? That should recreate the issue. (Maybe that function isn't called?)

Here is the test failure I get with the patch above:

OK, I'm not familiar with the bootstrap code, but to me it looks like scrollspy uses various SelectorEngine functions (find, etc.) that don't seem to call parseSelector at all?

I have a similar problem but with a tab linking to an external PDF file, using the "file.pdf#page=10" format.

<a href="http://example.com/document.pdf#page=10" target="_blank" class="nav-link">External link</a>

I got JS errors:

Uncaught DOMException: Document.querySelector: '#page=10' is not a valid selector

+1. I am also seeing this issue on Bootstrap v5.2.3, running Microsoft Edge v112 on Windows 11.

<h2 id="2-partition-normalized-cut">2-partition: Normalized Cut</h2>

causes the error

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'querySelector' on 'Element': '#2-partition-normalized-cut' is not a valid selector.

It seems like #34412 (which was supposed to be closed by #35566) is actually still not solved.

Can confirm on 5.3.2.

Patching SelectorEngine.findOne() like so fixes (that part of...) scrollspy for me and my #2-foo-bar IDs. (not checked for side-effects!)

    findOne(selector, element = document.documentElement) {
-      return Element.prototype.querySelector.call(element, selector);
+      return Element.prototype.querySelector.call(element, parseSelector(selector));
    },
