Description

rel,id and name attributes are selectable in IE8, but all onmouse* I tested fails.

In Firefox,Safari and Chrome the following works fine, but not work in IE8

$("input[onmouseover^='newsletter']").next().text("onmouseover attribute found");

Above is only an example, see attached file for more tests
