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.

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.

It will if you can reproduce it in jsFiddle or another public sandbox. Without that, though, there's basically nothing we can do.

Here is the sandboxed example : http://jsbin.com/ibotuw/3/

Be aware : edit will crash under IE7.
