:eq() Selector not working in Chrome, Safari and Opera

[cssensei]

I'm curently working on a new project. I had to add some classes to may navigation system and I've used the following snippet:

jQuery(".left_nav ul.menu li:eq(7)").addClass("sub");

and all gone fine in firefox and internet explorer, but in chrome, safari and opera nothing happened. They don't recongize this as a function. I managed to figure out that a working snippet for all browsers is a little different. Here's the working jQuery line:

jQuery(".left_nav ul.menu li").eq(7).addClass("sub");

Is this a jQuery bug?

Kind of hard to say without a complete test case that includes the markup. However, this type of question is best handled in the forum, rather than the bug tracker.

I have the same problem and I think it's a bug in Opera.

<div id="someId"> <span>1</span> <span>2</span> <span>3</span> </div>

This works: $('span:eq(1)').text();

This doesn't work: $('#someId span:eq(1)').text();

​test case Can't reproduce this. Both return "2"
