Thanks for the report but this is not a jQuery bug. $sw is not valid in the name part of a CSS attribute selector. You must escape the $. In the future, please use the jQuery Forum for support requests.

i have escape the $ with two backslash,you can see in the bug Description.

It looks like the reporter forgot to escape the double backslash. As !\\\\ means line break in Trac formatting. So I guess where the linebreaks are the reporter typed !\\\\.

What I don't understand is what the reporter actually reports. The selector documentation explicitly states that you need to double-escape the meta characters in the documentation.

test case that shows we can select by attributes named $sw and that the escaping works as required/documented

I know the test case can run rightly on google chrome，firefox and ie。but i write the same test case in my computer ,it shows that you can not select by attributes named $sw on ie8.

When I run the test case I linked to in IE 8 it works as expected. Can you provide a test case on http://jsfiddle.net which doesn't work in IE8?
