Attribute selector with an class seperator(':') in it, fails.

[Dykam]

This code fails: $('[xml:lang="nl"]'); While this works: $('[id="someID"]');

I needed this because when validating the html attribute lang="", the validator tells me I need xml:lang="".

Did you try escaping the colon?

In 1.3.0 when escaping the colon the backslash isn't removed from match[1]. Looks like the same as #3803.

Ok, I'll check in to it.

Ok, should be fixed now.  http://github.com/jeresig/sizzle/commit/380f65bfa72febab01effc0414b0c052f63a2a25

Will be merging into jQuery shortly.

jQuery 1.3.1 - I am still unable to use a selector for attributes with : in their name, such as in namespaced attributes.

Here is a simple testcase:

<a href="somewhere.html" test:ajax="json">test</a>

$('a[test
:ajax]')

No elements matched.

I am using jQuery 1.3.2 and this works fine in Firefox, but fails in IE (tested using IE 7).

Example: <div my:tooltip="Show this"></div>

jQuery: $('div[my
:tooltip]')

IE error: "Object doesn't support this property or method"

I've had a quick look at it and it seems like the ATTR prefilter removes the backslash but it appears again in filter.ATTR! Moreover, if you call $('div[my\\:tooltip]') instead of $('div[my\\:tooltip="Show this"]') then filter.ATTR isn't even called, is that OK?

The orignal  fix for this seems to be a no-op.
