and i am trying to assign there a value with the following jquery

$("#location\\[state_id\\]").val("5");

try this

<input type="text" name="location[state_id]"class="input" id="location[state_id]" value="" >

$(".input").val("5");

or

you can use curt's answer:

$("input[name='location[state_id]'").val("5");

If you wish to use the name as part of the selector, you can use the following selector:

$("input[name='location[state_id]'").val("5");

As # is an id selector, you could try to set the id of the input to a valid CSS id and let the name of the input the same (I assume that this format is required by a framework of some kind). For example, the HTML can look like:

<input type="text" id="location_state_id" name="location[state_id]" value="" />

and the jQuery expression:

$('#location_state_id').val('5');
