Description
This sample works on 1.4.x
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type='text' name='foo.bar'/>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
console.log($('*[name=foo.bar]'));
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
But doesn't work on 1.5.x
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type='text' name='foo.bar'/>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
console.log($('*[name=foo.bar]'));
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
As you can see from the docs (http://api.jquery.com/attribute-equals-selector/), quotes are mandatory for attribute selectors. This has always been the case, but did work in 1.4, and now has been fixed. Attribute selectors that are only one word will still work, but any selectors separated by period or a space or certain other breaks will fail. See http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/X8MwL/
