1.3.1 always select first 'checked' <input> whatever the attribute filter

[p3consulting]

The following code :

function testJQuery(theForm) {

var gender = $("input[@name='gender']:checked").val() ; var other = $("input[@name='other']:checked").val() ;

$("#result").html(jQuery.fn.jquery + "=" + gender + "/" + other) ;

return false ;

}

with the related <input> fields in a <form> :

<input type="radio" name="gender" value="F" checked />F

<input type="radio" name="gender" value="M" />M

<input type="radio" name="other" value="A" checked />A

<input type="radio" name="other" value="B" />B

produced the following output with version 1.3.1 :

1.3.1=F/F

while the correct answer is given by 1.2.6 :

1.2.6=F/A

Your attribute selector is invalid; the @ symbol isn't valid in jQuery 1.3. It works fine once you remove the @.
