Unexpected attribute selector behaviour

[SpadXIII]

I have 2 forms with each just 2 elements:

form1:

• text input with the name/id="name"
• submit input with name/id="submit"

form2:

• text input with the name/id="name2"
• submit input with name/id="submit2"

When I try to select the submit buttons to add an onclick-event, I get unexpected results. I'm selecting the submit buttons like:

$('form[name=form1] :submit');

$('form[name=form2] :submit');

Selecting the submit in form1 does not work, while selecting the submit in form2 does work. The only difference between the 2 forms is the inputs name/id. See attached html sample.

Don't give form elements a name or id that is the same as a form method or property. That includes names like submit, id, action, method, length, etc.
