Any comments?
Hi Neil,
You're right that 1.3.x removed support for the [...@attr] syntax, but it
had been deprecated already for a long time. Using [attr] will achieve
the same thing.
As of jQuery 1.2 (released Sept. 24, 2007), basic XPath such as
location path expressions, was removed. There is an XPath
compatibility plugin for those expressions at http://plugins.jquery.com/project/xpath/
. Is that no longer working for you?
