jQuery (1.11.x) syntax error on attribute selector #246

@black-snow

Description

@black-snow

HtmlUnit 2.44.0

$("input[id^=validToDate")

somehow throws an SyntaxError (thrown in jquery 1.11.0 minfied line 333:)

throw new Error("Syntax error, unrecognized expression: " + a)

But it only happens with HtmlUnit. No issues with current FF or Chrome. Might be due to some fallback that jQuery does for HtmlUnit / Rhino because of some missing features?

Might be due to missing quotes and somehow this just works in actual browsers.
/edit: nope, no issues with a simple example - need to investigate further

<body>
	<div id="a"></div>
	
	<script>
		console.log($('div[id^=a]'))
		$('div[id^=a]').html('test')
	</script>
</body>
