Switching to jQuery 1.5 breaks a selector

just upgraded to jQuery 1.5 and now it seems the find() has problems with several selctores:

var $AlertColumn = $('[name=TABLE_1] tr').find('.SAPBEXstdData:eq(9), .SAPBEXstdDataOdd:eq(9), td.SAPBEXaggData:eq(9)');

as of 1.5 (and IE7), the thing hangs in IE7 with an error popup after a while that there's a script running forever.

It works perfect in 1.4.2.

ok here comes the code (to the first data row), I have to work on the Alert-Row which is the 9th having those classes used in find():

    <TABLE class=SAPBEXCellspacing cellSpacing=1开发者_JS百科 cellPadding=0 width=1250 border=0 name="TABLE_1" sizcache="5" sizset="20"><TBODY sizcache="5" sizset="20">

Try and put input in front of your selector (like input[name=TABLE_1] tr), because it may be that jQuery is looking through every element, including spans, divs, h1s, etc...

$('[name=TABLE_1] tr') seems invalid because TABLE or TBODY don't have any NAME attribute (correct me if I'm wrong).

Two different solutions:

• If it ain't broke, don't fix it: stay with jQuery 1.4.2. or...
• Rewrite the selector so that it selects more efficiently. Start with $('table[name=TABLE_1] tr'), and use a more specific selector in .find() - perhaps use .children() instead of .find()? Would need to see the actual markup for more specific suggestions.

Edit Your markup is horribly invalid. form is not a valid child of table, name is not a valid attribute of table (as pointed out by @Capsule), you're not using nowrap correctly... I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the W3C Validator and go from there.
