#13499 closed bug (fixed)

Descendant selector fails when searched ID doesn't exists but NAME does (IE7 only)

Description

It seems that jQuery selector with IE7 doesn't behave the right way : in the following example, $("#notes2 textarea") shouldn't match anything -- it does, with an error. 

<html>
  <head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="content">
      <textarea name="notes2"></textarea>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

The following code ouputs "notes2" - OK 

$("#content textarea").attr("name");
$("textarea").attr("name");

The following code ouputs "undefined" - OK 

$("#doesntexists textarea").attr("name");

But this one FAILS. 

$("#notes2 textarea").attr("name");

In my opinion textarea attribute name "notes2" conflicts with the #notes2 selector.

I may be wrong on my diagnosis: I still have the same problem on a more complex page I can't reproduce here, even if I don't have any name conflict.

This is really weird, I hope my first example will enlight the root cause of all this.

It will if you can reproduce it in ​jsFiddle or another public sandbox. Without that, though, there's basically nothing we can do.

Here is the sandboxed example : ​http://jsbin.com/ibotuw/3/

Be aware : edit will crash under IE7.
