Syntax error, unrecognized expression in jquery 1.8+

[pedro.rainho@…]

This is an error that happen in ipad and when I run this selector

$headers.filter(':not([colspan])[data-column="' + i + '"]:last,[colspan="1"][data-column="' + i + '"]:last')

I have the error

Syntax error, unrecognized expression :not([colspan])[data-column="0"]:last,[colspan="1"][data-column="0"]:last

I've tested with Jquery 1.8.2:  http://jsfiddle.net/W8Mm3/2/ I've tested with Jquery 1.8.1:  http://jsfiddle.net/W8Mm3/ I've tested with Jquery 1.8.0:  http://jsfiddle.net/W8Mm3/3 Both have the same error:

I've tested with Jquery 1.7:  http://jsfiddle.net/W8Mm3/1/ I've tested with Jquery 1.7.1:  http://jsfiddle.net/W8Mm3/4/ I've tested with Jquery 1.7.2:  http://jsfiddle.net/W8Mm3/5/ And I don't have that error

So the error was introduced in jquery 1.8.0

There's too much going on in the tests. When reduced, I am unable to reproduce:

Looks like it's this bug, not sure if it's been fixed or not:  https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/132

Also it's not clear to me why it would only affect Safari?? I don't have an iPad handy but I can't repro on desktop Safari 5.1.

I've wrote "This is an error that happen in ipad"

It doesn't happen in pc browsers.

Also I don't know why someone close the bug and didn't bother to test it well.

Mr. timmywil using you demo:  http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/W8Mm3/21/

The error HAPPEN in IPAD 1 - version IOS 5

Did you even test it?

Did you even test you demo in ipad? I've test it and the error happen. Please re-open the bug.

Sorry, I didn't see the "in ipad". It does seem ridiculous that this would only be a problem in Safari.

[timmywil]

_mobile_ Safari even. However, I don't see the issue in iOS 6.0 ( http://cl.ly/image/0Z2e3t0i3b3z). My guess is that there was a bug in mobile Safari.

This problem doesn't happen on pc safari and I can't see if it happen in ios 6 since I don't have an ipad2+. I do know that happen in ios 5 (ipad1).

Yesterday me and the author of tablesorter we manage to split the selector in parts

from this: h = $headers.filter(':not([colspan])[data-column="' + i + '"]:last,[colspan="1"][data-column="' + i + '"]:last')

to this: h = $headers.filter(':not([colspan])');

h = h

.add( $headers.filter('[colspan="1"]') ) ie8 fix .filter('[data-column="' + i + '"]:last');

And for now it's working. I start doing this because I also had other errors with long selectors and the solution was divide the selector in parts.

I've tested with Ipad 2 and this doesn't happen. So it's a bug in ipad 1 IOS 5
