Multiple Attribute Selectors Broken

I was having trouble with the form plugin and while debugging I

discovered that quotes are necessary when selecting by attribute

values * if * the selection contains more than one item.

The following test page shows this more clearly:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-W3CDTD XHTML 1.0 StrictEN"

"http:www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<head>

$(document).ready(function() {

alert("with quotes: "

+$("input[@type='hidden'],input[@type='text']").size());

alert("w/o quotes: "

+$("input[@type=hidden],input[@type=text]").size());

});

</script>

</head><body><div>

</div></form>

</div></body></html>

The first alert shows 2, the second alert shows 0. However the

following lines will both correctly alert 1:

alert("with quotes: " +$("input[@type='hidden']").size());

alert("w/o quotes: " +$("input[@type=hidden]").size());

So there is either a bug in the selection logic (if quotes are not

meant to be required) or in the form plugin which does this:

$("input[@type=submit],input[@type=image]", this)

This W3C page says "Attribute values must be identifiers or strings" so it

seems the quotes should be optional for simple names.

It looks like the problem is here in .filter():

// Look for something (optionally) enclosed with quotes

.replace( 'Q', " *'?"?([^'"]*)'?"? *" ), "i" );

I think the [^'"]* part of the regexp is eating up too much of the selector

string.
