Selector is now unrecognized

[[email protected]…]

I have found this error in Firefox 3.6 under Ubuntu:

using jQuery 1.4.2 this selector works: jQuery('select[name=[time]]') but after updating to jQuery 1.5.2 it rises the following error: uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [name=[time]]

I'm pretty sure it's jQuery's version the only problem here because if I switch back to 1.4.2 it works again.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project! Please provide a reduced test case on ​http://jsFiddle.net that reproduces the issue experienced to help us assess your ticket!

Additionally, test against the jQuery (edge) version to ensure the issue still exists.

Even though it worked in jQuery 1.4.2, that is an invalid selector. This has been fixed in jQuery 1.5. Use quotes instead of brackets to check the value of an attribute: ​http://api.jquery.com/attribute-equals-selector/
