Description
Not sure if this is related to jQuery or the update, but parents("SELECTOR") no longer finds elements with tag attributes defined across multiple lines.
Example, the following worked for me before the update, but does not work now:
<div class="testParent
secondClass">
<div class="child1"></div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.testChild').parents('.testParent').click(function(){
alert('gets here');
});
</script>
The following does work: <div class="testParent secondClass">
<div class="child1"></div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.testChild').parents('.testParent').click(function(){
alert('gets here');
});
</script>
