Selectors not evaluating integer variables correctly

Description

When using the jquery selector like so:

$('input[name="product[id]"][value="' + product_id + '"]')

Where the variable product_id is equal to an integer, jquery returns incorrect matches. If product_id is in the range 10-19 then it will match to inputs with the value of 1, if it is 20-29 it will match 2 and so on.

To get jQuery to select the correct objects I did the following:

var selector = 'input[name="product[id]"][value="' + product_id + '"]';
$(selector);

I think that the problem lies in the order/way that jquery is evaluating the arguments of the selector.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project! Please provide a reduced test case on http://jsFiddle.net that reproduces the issue experienced to help us assess your ticket.

Additionally, test against the jQuery (edge) version to ensure the issue still exists.

I've reproduced your test case here: http://jsfiddle.net/addyosmani/mFYSP/ and just in case you're not actually passing the id directly to your first selector and mean 'id' literally, I've also tested here: http://jsfiddle.net/PbfG9/1/. Both of these work fine in Firefox and Webkit based browsers without any issue. This also works fine in IE6. Closing ticket.
