Attribute Not Equal Selector does not work properly

[Alex Tokar <[email protected]…>]

Attribute Not Equal Selector does not work if element selector is not set explicitly. Fo the next sample color is set for all elements:

<div id="a">a</div>
<span id="b">b</span>
<a id="c" href="#">c</div>
		
<script type="text/javascript">
	$(function(){
		$('[id!="a"]').css('color', 'red');
	})
</script>

You're setting the color on ALL elements, including the body, which is where a inherits its color from.
