#3850 closed bug (wontfix)

.find('>') fails in jq 1.3

Description

this used to be a valid selector in 1.2.6, equivalent to .children()

here's a test case:

javascript:alert($('div').find('>').length);void(0)

Milestone: 1.3.1 Version: 1.3

I don't think we can guarantee that being a valid selector, thankfully we have a drop-in replacement. Instead of .find('>') just do:

  .children()

yes, but a query such as:

.find('>:last div').end()

now turns into:

.children(':last').find('div').end().end()

which is hardly as pleasant as it used to be in 1.2.6

also, it can't be used as easily with other selectors. for instance, take a stab at re-writing this valid 1.2.6 code:

.find('>.deviceChooser>.remButton,>.addButtonContainer>.customAddButton')

I think there's some confusion here. .find("> div") works (or should work). I'm saying that .find(">") should not work.
