      function removeFrame(el) {

        var cols = (parentEl.attr('cols').indexOf(',') > 0);
        if (!cols && parentEl.attr('rows').indexOf(',') <= 0)

        var sizes = parentEl.attr(cols).split(',');
        sizes[$(el).prevUntil(parentEl).length] = 0;
        parentEl.attr(cols, sizes.join(','));
      }

      beforeLoadHandler = function(event) {
        var el = event.target;
        event.preventDefault();

This worked fine in 1.4.2 AFAIK

Browser: Chrome

The error occurs in this part of the code: 

$(el).prevUntil(parentEl)

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project! Please provide a reduced jsFiddle test case to help us assess your ticket!

Additionally, test against the latest jQuery release AND the jQuery 0 GIT version to ensure the issue still exists. Be Excellent to eachother!

Lastly, I attempted to recreate your issue from the code above and was unable to produce an error.

This isn't a jQuery bug. Your usage of .prevUntil(selector) is invalid. The documentation says:

prevUntil( [ selector ] )\\\\ selector A string containing a selector expression to indicate where to stop matching preceding sibling elements.

But you are passing in parentEl which is a jQuery object and not a string. That you didn't get an exception with 1.4.2 was just by chance

Btw. I don't understand why you even do $(el).prevUntil(parentEl).

prevUntil(selector) returns all siblings up to but not including the element matched by the selector. As parentEl is the parent of el (excluding the fact that parentEl isn't a string) this would never match as a parent can't be a sibling. So you can just replace this expression with $(el).prevAll().
