Description

Traversing-function "find()" (v.1.6.2) not working anymore.

With v1.4.2 no problems.

See test-page below, code "$objMain.find('#divEntityData');", "div"-object will not be found.

However, that is invalid XHTML. You can't put a block element inside an inline element. Valid markup shows the same behavior:

Seems this is only a problem for an ID selector and only when the container has an ID containing a backslash.
