issue noticed with $("*",divElement) execution

[[email protected]…]

Issue is in executing $(“*”,div) method. It is not traversing each inner domain elements of div if div has certain pattern of Id.

Visit ​http://jsbin.com/equge3 link for the test application I created.

You can notice that ‘spouse’ dom elements are not traversing if div has id with pattern “FE12[FE23]” but parent dom elements worked fine if div has id with pattern “FE12[0]” It means it is expecting numeric characters inside brackets in current release of jQuery 1.4.4.

Above example works fine in jQuery 1.4.2.

Can you please reduce this to a more simplified test case? ​http://jsfiddle.net/

Thank You! for quick response

I created test case using jsfiddle

​http://jsfiddle.net/5Jr8R/2/

In my test case two separate div elements and want to modify id of each div.

Here are logical steps I am following:

• select each div
• modify div id with new one by appending [FEIEI2C90] for the first one and [0] for the second one
• traverse each element to modify each inner element

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing a bug report and providing a testcase!

jQuery has sometimes issues when the id attribute contains meta characters. Here it is triggered as jQuery internally uses the present id attribute to speed up the search. Check on #7533 which (once fixed) should also fix this bug.

Duplicate of #7533.

There wasn't a 1.4.5 release, was actually 1.5.

There was no 1.4.5 release, was actually 1.5.
