unrecognized expression: :[type=checkbox] with jQuery 1.8

I update the code to jQuery 1.8 and I start getting this error:

unrecognized expression: :[type=checkbox]

Of course this is say that the expression :[type=checkbox] is not recognized by the new version of jQuery and my question is:

I have type it the wrong way, or it's a bug ?

I have make this version for test on jsFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/4y8tb/6/ , open the console to see the log, and if you change the jQuery version you see it one to work and one not.

I have try some other syntax (like :[type="checkbox"]) but fails.

Solution

  • Change this:

    $('input:[type=checkbox]')

    To:

    $('input[type=checkbox]')

    You are using Attribute Equals selector, the syntax should be:

    $('element[attribute="value"]')
