.live() not working properly with "has attribute" css selector

[cjoudrey]

There appears to be a problem with .live() and "has attribute" css selector when using forms.

Using the following HTML:

<span title="test">1234</span>
<form>
    <input type="text" name="title" />
</form>

When you run $('[title]'), the span element is returned.

However, if you use the following:

$('[title]').live('click', function() {
    alert('clicked a [title]');
});

When you click on the input an alert occurs. The selector [title] returns the <form>.

Reproduced in Firefox 3.6.

This is actually due to the fact that the names of input elements become properties of the form that contains them.

I think I'm understanding the question correctly, but was not able to replicate the problem here: ​http://jsfiddle.net/dBsr4/

Clicking on the second input does not return the 'item clicked' alert.

I am also unable to replicate the problem now. Maybe it got fixed. The issue can be closed.
