Which is a good idea, but not sufficient.  Besides, if you had really used 
jQuery, it is debatable if one could reasonably call such an example 
“working”.

As “some number” will, without loss of generality, be a decimal number, it 
will start with a decimal digit.  So unless you are declaring and using 
HTML5, you will need to prefix at least one “_” or ASCII letter to it, as I 
did in my example.
