Description
Documentation for Selectors contains following part:
«If you wish to use any of the meta-characters (#;&,.+*~':"!^$[]()=>|/@
) as a literal part of a name, you must escape the character with two backslashes: \\
. For example, if you have an an input with name="names[]"
, you can use the selector $("input[name=names\\[\\]]")
.»
Internet Explorer versions below 8 do not understand selectors with double backslashes before meta-characters in names.
For example, selector $('input[name="files\\[\\]"]')
does not find tag <input name="files[]" />
, while selectors $('input[name="files\[\]"]')
, $('input[name="files[]"]')
and $('input[name=files[]]')
finds it in all browsers.
Which version of the selector is correct? Please, represent your answer in documentation.
And sorry for my english, I hope you understand me.
