Filter expression i.e. $('li:gt(1)') broken since jQuery 1.2.5

I've been using a script which works fine with jQuery 1.1 but now had to update to jQuery 1.2.6 for a new script, now the following script doesn't work anymore:

function ndxz_expanding_loader()

{

var speed = 200;

var item_title = new Array(); var items = new Array(); var i = 0; $("#menu ul").each(function() {

items[i] = $("#menu ul").eq(i).children().filter(function (index) { return index > 0; }); /* v1 - hide items if not active */ if (items[i].is(".active") == false) { items[i].hide(); } /* v2 - hide all */ items[i].hide(); apply the clicker $(this).attr('id', 'c' + i); $(this).children(":first").css({ cursor: 'pointer' }); $$(this).attr('onclick', "$('ul#c" + i + " li:gt(0)').toggle(" + speed + ");$('#content').hide();");

i++;

});

}

Script is also viewable here:  http://dev.rocho.org/nico-jquery/nico-admin/site/js/menu.js

It works correctly in the current Firefox 3, but not in current versions of Safari, IE and Chrome.

I also tried changing the line:

$(this).attr('onclick', "$('ul#c" + i + " li:gt(0)').toggle(" + speed + ");$('#content').hide();");

to:

$(this).attr('onclick', "$('ul#c" + i + " li:not(:first-child)').toggle(" + speed + ");$('#content').hide();");

and:

$(this).attr('onclick', "$('ul#c" + i + " li').slice(1).toggle(" + speed + ");$('#content').hide();");

The above examples also don't work.

And then downgraded to 1.2.5 which has the same error, 1.2.4 was not released and in jQuery 1.2.3 the script works in all browsers.

I have put up a demo at:

 http://dev.rocho.org/nico-jquery

with the version that uses jQuery 1.2.6 only works in FF 3.

If you click on one of the menu items (Arbeiten,Vita, Kontakt) they won't expand on Safari, IE.

Still the same issue with jQuery 1.3 to which I just updated.

If this is still an issue, start a discussion on the forum to debug the code.
