Description
This bug was reproduced using "jQuery-1.1.1" version. I have the following code.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/jquery/jquery-1.1.1.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("#IDParent #IDChild").css("background", "red");
});
jQuery.noConflict();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="IDParent">
<div id="IDChild" class="menuClass">Text</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
If instead of
<div id="IDParent">...</div>
you change the ID to something else (different from id used in the query), for instance:
<div id="AnotherIDParent">...</div>
the same query throws the following error at line 954.
if ( m[1] == "#" && ret[ret.length-1].getElementById ) {
I know that the above query could be fixed this way:
jQuery("#IDParent").find(#IDChild").css("background", "red");
still, it would be nice if the original code would work the same way.
Thank you!
Alex.
