discuss » Bug: $("#password") and password input elements

Hi all,

I just found out, that when you use password input elements and use an
id like "password" for one, $() returns a wrong result. I guess id and
type messes somehow up here.

$("#password") then returns two objects...

Here's a file to demonstrate that behavior:

If you happen to run into such a situation, the following does work
correctly and returns one object:

$("input[@id='password']")


Regards,

Klaus
