What I don't understand (maybe it's described somewhere, but couldn't find it) is why querying by empty class name stopped working in 1.4.x? I mean, in 1.3, $('td[class=""]') would select both and , but in 1.4 - only , so I have to use $('td').filter('[class=""]') instead. As it is a backwards-incompatible change that can break quite some code (it actually does break mine), I think it should be pointed out at.

Folks – cannot get other special characters to work in the value part of the field. Specifically:
filter(“[name='field.subfield.array[3]']”), or properly escaped:
filter(“[name='field\.subfield\.array\[3\]']”)

Any ideas?

Construction like $('input[name=names[]]') was broken in 1.4.4 or 1.4.3!

Now you should write it: $('input[name='names[]']')

Did you try leaving the quotes out?

ie. $(“input[value=]“)

I found a workaround for this problem using .filter() which does work in all tested browsers (but one of the reasons I love using jQuery is its cross-browser consistency so a fix for this issue would be ideal). Basically the workaround is something like…
$(“input”).filter(function() {return this.value==”";});

I’m having trouble selecting input elements with a particular value. If I have a simple text input…Then attempt to use a selector like…$(“input[value='']“)(That’s value = empty string)It seems to always look at the initial values when the page was loaded. So if the page was loaded with the input’s value=”" even if the value is changed, this selector would still get it.(Ultimately I want to use $(“.required[value='']“) to get all items that have class=”required” but are still blank on the form.)
This seems to be something browser specific. It works correctly in IE, but not in FF, Chrome, or Safari.

Deos this work with custom attributes? I can't seem to get it to work. like $(“div [customthing="cool"]“)
