Coldfusion 2018 compiler
Within a cfm, I have a script section and the pre-compiler is throwing this error - it is not recognixing that $("#selectname") is valid invalid token at the second ". Any ideas on how to go around the problem?

If the Javascript is not part of CF code, then use single #.
If the Javascript is part of CF code (for example, within cfoutput tags), then use ## instead of #.
