Strange selector bug in IE with <P><FORM> elements

Description

For me this is a strange selector bug to explain. Try the testcase at: http://jsfiddle.net/jorese/Bzc7M/ In IE you will recieve an alert=3, remove the <P> element in front of the <FORM> element and you get the expected alert=5. In Chrome|FF you get alert=5 as expected. The bug probably exist in all version, but only tested in 1.7 and 1.8

Of course this is a serious bug, all $(form INPUT).events will not happen...

Use the IE inspector to see what's going on. This isn't a jQuery bug and shouldn't be reported here. Ask for help on a forum if you need it.

Can you please explain why this isn't a bug? Or is it a bug in the selector enginge and not in jquery? Did you try the jsfiddle?

Sure, post a screen shot of your results from the IE inspector and I can explain.

From left:

  1. Chrome or FF reporting 5
  2. IE reporting 3
  3. IE <P> element before <FORM> removed, reporting 5

You'll want to actually view the DOM to see which elements are children of which ones.

Your markup is invalid. DIV is not allowed is not allowed in P. IE automatically inserts </p> before DIV which also closes form. So DIV is not children of form. Fix your markup.

The DOM viewer will show you that. :D
