Selector in IE8 (anchor/id)

Description

Selectors like $("#test span") fails in IE8 when there's an element (in my case an anchor) with the same name as the id given.

http://jsbin.com/uhuvuv/2/edit

It has to be run in editmode for some reason to produce the error, doing the same thing in a local file produces the error every time.

This works in jQuery 1.7.2 and fails in 1.8.2 & 1.9.1.

Best regards,

I'll take a look. This could be IE8's QSA.

Actually, this only happens in quirksmode. jsbin is not setting the doctype correctly.
