    // Escape unwanted CSS selector chars 
    escapeForJquery = function(str) {
      var charList = ["\\", "!", "\"", "#", "$", "%", "&", "'", "(", ")", "*", "+", "-", ",", ".", "/", ":", ";", "<", "=", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "^", "`", "{", "|", "}", "~"],
        i, result = str;
      for(i = 0; i < charList.length; i+=1) {
        result = result.split(charList[i]).join("\\" + charList[i]);
      }
      return result;
    };
