updated from 1.7.2 to 1.8.2 and am getting unrecognised expression


updated from 1.7.2 to 1.8.2 and am getting the following error

unrecognized expression: :.active-row

the line of code exploding is:

$('#table-area').find('.row:not(.active-row)').each(function(index, element) {







      //stuff here
});

can anyone help shed some light on this?
