Description
One of our forms contains an input field with attribute "name" and attribute value "name". Forms that contains such input fields are not accessible via the selector engine.In the example below the form with that kind of input field is called "foo".
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="foo">
<input type="text" name="name" value="form[name=foo]" />
</form>
<form name="foo2">
<input type="text" name="name" value="form[name=foo2]" />
</form>
<form name="bar">
<input type="text" name="name1" value="form[name=bar]" />
</form>
<input type="button" id="button" value = "Count" />
<div id="result"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#button').click(function(){
$('#result').html(
'form : ' + $("form").length + "<br />" +
'form[name=foo] : ' + $("form[name='foo']").length + "<br />" +
'form[name*=foo] : ' + $("form[name*='foo']").length + "<br />" +
'form[name=bar] : ' + $("form[name='bar']").length + "<br />" +
'Workaround for "form[name=foo]" : ' + $("form").filter(function (index) {return $(this).attr('name') == 'foo';}).length
);
})
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Results in IE7:
form : 3 form[name=foo] : 0 form[name*=foo] : 0 form[name=bar] : 1 Workaround for "foo" : 1
Results in Firefox 3.0.8:
form : 3 form[name=foo] : 1 form[name*=foo] : 0 form[name=bar] : 1 Workaround for "form[name=foo]" : 1
I ran into this issue today and have also confirmed that [attribute=value] does not work properly in IE.
With the following markup on the page...
And the following JS...
test = $("a[disabled=disabled]"); alert(test.length);IE alerts 0 and all other browsers alert 1.
