Function only works with jquery 1.1.2 anyone know why?

Question

hey guys, I am starting to get frustrated. I have a function I am using to fade a comment in after it is inserted. It works only with jquery 1.1.2 however, so none of the other functions on my page will work. If I try to use it with a newer version, comments will not show up since display is set to none in css so that comments can be faded. Does anyone know of a modification to make it work with jquery 1.3.2?

  function success(response, status)  { 
          if(status == 'success') {
            lastTime = response.time;
            $('#daddy-shoutbox-list').append(prepare(response));
            $('input[@name=message]').attr('value', '').focus();
            $('#list-'+count).fadeIn('slow');
            timeoutID = setTimeout(refresh, 3000);
          }
        }

Answer 1

This: $('input[@name=message]')
Should be: $('input[name=message]')

Source: jQuery 1.2 Release Notes, under Removed Functionality - it still works on 1.2 (deprecated ), but was removed on 1.3:

The '@' in [@attr] has been removed. Deprecated since 1.2 this old syntax no longer works. Simply remove the @ to upgrade.
