Attribute selector with innerHTML and quotes

[kapouer@…]

Having : <p><span class="test">123</span></p> in the document, these won't select it : $('span[innerHTML="123"]') but this would : $('span[innerHTML=123]') The documentation says it should be quoted. The working case does not match the documentation.

Both of these work : $('p > span').filter('[innerHTML="123"]') $('p > span').filter('[innerHTML=123]')

But both of these don't : $('p > span.test').filter('[innerHTML="123"]') $('p > span.test').filter('[innerHTML=123]')

Latest line used to work in jquery 1.4.2.

If innerHTML used for attribute selector is unsupported, please clearly state it in the documentation.

innerHTML is not an attribute; it was by coincidence that it ever worked

I don't think we need to add a specific mention for this in the docs. Since innerHTML is not an attribute, it was never valid even though it may have worked in the past.
