uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression

Question

I am getting uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [@name='rbRewSelectionGroup'] when I load may page which has this in it at the bottom:

<script language="javascript">

    $("input[@name='rbRewSelectionGroup']").click(function()
                                                   {
                                                        $(this).closest("form").submit();
                                                   });
</script>

I am not seeing it. I do not see anything wrong with this code at all. I do have the jQuery (1.4.2) library loaded with the page.

In current versions of jQuery you no longer need the @ prefix for attributes (it was removed in the jQuery 1.3 release).

Your attribute-equals selector should look like this:

$("input[name='rbRewSelectionGroup']")
