After reading a post in the "Using jQuery" sub forum I started testing a bit, and came to the conclusion that the selecting of nodes using the attribute selector is a bit inconsistent. I made a test showing the inconsistencies here Short version: it turns out that when using find() double escaping finds no nodes, in contrast to using single escaping. This of course also has effect when selecting nodes within a context which uses find(). The documentation clearly states that when selecting nodes double escaping is needed.
Is this a well known inconsistency? Or should this be stated in the selector section of the documentation, or maybe just the find() part?
I just wanted to show my appreciation for what John, the jQuery team and all the people supporting it have done with/for this library.
So thanks a lot for doing your share and then some to make the world (wide web) a better place, and in the process making it far less work and far more fun to be a front end developer.
And thanks for inspiring us all to become better developers(JS programmers) and making JavaScript as popular as it should be.
So keep up the very good work, it is greatly appreciated!
