[jQuery] .children([filter]) omitting elements

[jQuery] .children([filter]) omitting elements


Hi All
Migrating some stuff from 1.2 to 1.3 and encountering this weird
problem:
I've got a structure like this:
<container a:name="container">
<child1 a:foo="bar">
<button />
<child2 a:foo="bar" />
<child3 a:foo="bar" />
<child4 a:foo="notbar" />
</container>
Now I'm running the following selector:
$(button).parents("[a\\:name='container']").children("[a\
\:foo='bar']")
Which returns no elements at all !!???
When I run $(child1).parents("[a\\:name='container']").children()
however, I can see child1 thru 4 and verify with .getAttribute that
the value of a:foo is indeed "bar".
Anyone has an idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help.
