problems with selector for multiple checkboxes ?

[[email protected]…]

Hi, I founded that using the following html :

<div id="test">
    <input type="checkbox" name="multipage[1]" value="" />
</div>

I was able to enable the checkbox using

$("#test").find("input[name=multipage[1]]").attr('checked', true);

and jquery-1.4.2.min.js

Now as of jquery-1.4.4.min.js I tried the folowing codes without success :

$("#test").find("input[name=multipage[1]]").attr('checked', true);

$("#test").find("input[name=multipage\\[1\\]]").attr('checked', true);

Is this a bug or did I not write it correctly ? Thanxs for your answer.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing a bug report.

This is a known bug introduced with jQuery 1.4.4. Check the ticket mentioned below for progress on this issue.

You can use the recommended syntax instead and quote the attribute value like this

$("#test").find("input[name='multipage[1]']").attr('checked', true);
