Description
jQuery versions affected: at least 1.6.2 and git.
Browsers affected: IE (all versions)
Operating system: Windows (all versions)
As Nicholas Zakas explains, old versions of IE and Safari show less-than-meaningful messages ("Exception thrown and not caught on line X") when strings are thrown instead of instances of the Error object.
With the jsfiddle demo linked above, Chrome shows the following error: "Uncaught Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [id={foo]".
IE, on the other hand, shows the following:
Message: Exception thrown and not caught
Line: 4224
Char: 2
Code: 0
