IE8 find() and parents() bug.

[n0aX]

This code

$("#submit-button").parents().find('form.admin-form:eq(0)').attr('id');

returns "Object doesn't support this property or method" in IE8 1.4.3 whereas it works fine in 1.4.2. Strange behaviour that, same code works fine in 1.4.3 with Palemoon(FF) 3.6.12.

Did you follow the procedure described in  How to report bugs?

Try a newer version of jQuery

Does this still happen with 1.4.4rc2?

Search First

Because I am pretty sure the bug you reported is similar (or duplicate) to #7212 which has already been fixed.

So please first test with 1.4.4rc2 and if the bug still occurs with that version please provide a reduced test case on  http://jsfiddle.net

As it has been around 3 weeks with the latest release after around 7 months from previous, I've chosen to stick with latest official build - 1.4.3.

With 1.4.4rc2 it seems fixed, as it returns correct #id of desired form.

Sorry for opening a duplicate post as I had not found any similar result with "parent find ie8" , as #7212 (ticket) is about having wrong return values and #7407 (ticket) had a different solution with doctype - which did not work in my case, I have opened a new topic to inform as that issue could be related to something else that was covered.

Thanks for the reply and advices, See ya in cyberspace.
