................so it is indeed a joomla problem.

Nothing gets solved by blaming others. You have to work together to get a solution.

and actually, no we do not work together and I found the solution with the help of a vm user. I am sure if you try to explain them, they wont change it. They will insist that it is anyway not clean to use such an id. Regardless if it is valid in html5, ohh, actually that could be a valid argument for them.

Oh, thank you for the deeper explanation. I understand now, but do not understand why they change things which worked before. This makes it more difficult for third parties and their customers.

I think there happened two different things, but I dont know for sure, I just guess.

On one hand they wanted to remove the use of mootools, which is good. and on the other hand I think they "enhanced" the validation. But somewhere there is a small error, maybe mootools escaped it automatically or so.

Fact is, if you write html5 valid html it is unlikely that you use [] for an id, but as you can see it can happen fast with generic fallbacks.

Thank you Milbo, again. I am not a programmer, just an end user, and it is somehow frustrating when something worked before and after just one update you have to check everything to make sure all the third party modules working together.

I have the same annoying problem reported widely - upgraded to 3.4.1 and can no longer save virtuemart products, which completely stalls the project . Tried  uploading the J3.4.0 version of  the validate.js and validate-uncompressed.js files as advised, but this made no difference. I am hesitant to use the fix offered under "Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #mprices[product_price_publish_up]" as I am not getting that error message - I just get no result from clicking "save" after entering the data into the product fields - can only cancel out. Can anyone advise whether a simple fix has been found - it's very confusing trying to solve this via the various  threads?

3.0.6.4 has cart issues  with Joomla 3.4.1 and VM 3.0.7 is not stable yet.

I could have named vm3.0.7 also 3.0.6.6.

All the numbering is by logic just theory.
