Description
It seems that jQuery selector with IE7 doesn't behave the right way : in the following example, $("#notes2 textarea") shouldn't match anything -- it does, with an error.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<textarea name="notes2"></textarea>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The following code ouputs "notes2" - OK
$("#content textarea").attr("name");
$("textarea").attr("name");
The following code ouputs "undefined" - OK
$("#doesntexists textarea").attr("name");
But this one FAILS.
$("#notes2 textarea").attr("name");
In my opinion textarea attribute name "notes2" conflicts with the #notes2 selector.

Here is the sandboxed example : http://jsbin.com/ibotuw/3/
Be aware : edit will crash under IE7.

Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
I may be wrong on my diagnosis: I still have the same problem on a more complex page I can't reproduce here, even if I don't have any name conflict.
This is really weird, I hope my first example will enlight the root cause of all this.
