Using live focusout do not fire any event on firefox mac 3.6, work on IE and webkit

[addyosmani]

Finally the problem comes from Sizzle I think,

​http://www.jsfiddle.net/HngRv/1/

when .not(":checkbox") is added, the script do not work,

but $("[class*=validate]") will work.

In fact,

Doing more tests, it seems this do nto work anywhere,

But this work everywhere beside firefox

$("[class*=validate][type!=checkbox]").live("focusout", function(){ alert(""); })

This has nothing to do with the event type and everything to do with live + attribute not-equals selector. ​revised test case This also happens in Firefox 4. All other browsers pass. This is a regression from 1.4.2.

attribute not-equals selector is also broken in ​http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/7216

#7216 is a duplicate of this ticket.

Firefox fails to throw an Error when matchesSelector is passed an invalid selector string and instead just raises a warning (like what happens when you give it invalid CSS). This was already worked around with custom pseudo-selectors, but attribute not-equals is also not a valid CSS selector and so fails.

Potential patch at ​http://github.com/jeresig/sizzle/pull/31.

Adding another test for an issue in Gecko's matchesSelector implementation. Fixes #7243.
