Posting my problems always gives me new ideas 5 minutes later :) I
changed it to this:

HTML
<div class="entry" id="id-12345">something here</div>

SCRIPT to get the ID number:
$(this).attr('id').substr(3)

(The "id-" part is for XHTML validation; I simply remove it with the
substr() function.)

I guess this is already much cleaner than the previous code.
