Can't check for non-blank attributes

[chrisbarr]

I had an occasion where I needed to find all links of with a certain class which also did not have a blank title attribute. I thought to use the attributeNotEqual filter found here:  http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/attributeNotEqual

I ran something similar to this code:

$(".hello[title!=]").css("background-color","red");

And firebug returns: uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: title!=]

Putting anything inside the quotes works as expected, but apparently you can't find elements without a blank attribute.

So.... the code sample I wrote above did not format correctly in here. Please check the example I linked to.  http://jsbin.com/ibupo/edit

Chris, does it look like this bug is the same as yours? If so it should be fixed in the next release.

Yes, that appears to be the exact same problem. Sorry about the duplicate ticket, but I'm glad to see it's been fixed!
