Description
Consider the following line of markup:
<a class='location' style='text-decoration:underline'>Aurora, CO</a>
I should be able to select this with a class selector like so:
$('.location:contains(Aurora)')
This works in Firefox, but in IE 7 and 8 I get the generic error: "Object doesn't support this property or method."
My current workaround is to include the tag in the selector:
$('a.location:contains(Aurora)')
I can't confirm this in any browser: http://jsbin.com/atenu
