$('#register') matches more elements than only id's set to register in IE6

$('#register') which should only match element(s) with the id set to register, seems to mach tags with name set to register as well in IE6.

Example:

...

...

</form>

Match:

$('#register').size() == 1

matched element is the anchor

This is a well known issue in IE and the s fix for this in the core would cause severe performance issues.

If your code *must* have both a name and an id of the same value on different elements you could work around it by using the :not expression.

$('#register:not([@name=register])');
