This method is useful for situations where a class name or an ID contains characters that have a special meaning in CSS, such as the dot or the semicolon.
The method is essentially a shim for the CSS Working Group's CSS.escape() method. The main difference is that $.escapeSelector()
can be reliably used in all of jQuery's supported browsers.
