Issue with .live() and .filter()

[winterwind]

Using the following code snippet I was triggering the error " Syntax error, unrecognized expression: false; }); " - this error was happening as I changed a select that was returning true to the .filter().

(function($) {

$(document).ready(function() {

$('select').filter(function() {

if($(this).attr('name').match(/^{option\[\d+\]\[TYPE\]$/)) {}

return true;

} return false;

}).live('change', function() {

alert('here');

});

});

})(jQuery);

The same bit of code works find with .bind() however.

jQuery versions tested: 1.7.1, 1.7.0, 1.6.1, 1.5.1 - all cause the issue, all work fine with .bind() instead.

As documented, .live cannot be chained. And it is deprecated.
