Traversing with parents() doesn't work in IE 7.0

[shaupt]

We use the following jquery expression: $('button').click( function() { alert( $(this).parents('[@class="csMyGroupStyle"]').size() ) } ); Clicking on the button in "Firefox 2.0" returns the value 1, but the "IE 7.0" returns the value 2. If we change the size() to html(), then Firefox returns the correct html code, but IE returns '<BUTTON STYLE="CURSOR:pointer; function (w){ var a = [], The array holding the partial texts. ...' It looks as in IE the method "parents()" is not interpreted correctly. It returns some function code back.

It seems to work the same for me in IE7 and FF on the wiki ​http://docs.jquery.com/Traversing/parents#expr . Do you have an actual test case you could share?

I created a test case based on the description and it works for me. If you have an alternate test case please reopen the bug and attach it.
