I think we're just recommending that people use :selected instead of [selected] in their code. Not only is it easier to use but it's also consistent across platforms.

Didn't mean to close this, it's still something we want to tackle.

Im using a content mgmt solution that spits in an extra title tag. To figure out what content I am including I have <title context="howc"></title>.

When I try var context = $("title[context]]").attr("context"); context is undefined.

Maybe because my <Title tag is in the wrong place (inside body) maybe because context is not a valid attribute of <Title?

I can clean this up and get something working, but I thought I'd add this to the bug. Thanks.

I think IE stripped the tag out or something.

This doesn't work either:

var context;

$("title").each(function(){

if($(this).attr("context"))

context=$(this).attr("context");

})

alert(context);

undefined ie7

works in firefox

This is getting moved to 1.6 for when the $.attr happens.
