$(html) Syntax error, unrecognized expression (html start with special char)

[scdevelop@…]

Hi all. Using $(htmlstring) if htmlstring start with special char (\r , \n ) the function return error: "Syntax error, unrecognized expression..."

Example:

$("\r\n<div>Test</div>")
Syntax error, unrecognized expression: <div>Test</div>
$("<div>Test</div>")
Works correcly.

This was not present on 1.8 version.

Regards.
