I think in your case will not handle if myID contains '<br />
My opinion is that the best thing that you can do is to escape the string

Hello,<br />
<br />
I&quot;m looking to convert a string so my jquery script works...<br />
<br />
The line is... var myUserID = $('#id_'+myID).val();<br />
<br />
but it's not working because my variable &quot;myID&quot; uses other characters besides numbers.<br />
<br />

How can I convert the string so it can be used in this line?<br />

JScript is Microsoft's dialect of the ECMAScript standard that is used in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. JScript is implemented as an Active Scripting engine, so it can be "plugged in" to OLE Automation applications that support Active Scripting, such as Internet Explorer, Active Server Pages, and Windows Script Host. It also means such applications can use multiple Active Scripting languages, e.g., JScript, VBScript or PerlScript.

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a group of interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. With AJAX, web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and allow interaction with the information presented.
