A:
It's selecting all elements with a regex= attribute (that it's present, it can be empty).
Though, the all selector can be implied, it can just be:
$("[regex]")
Both are very inefficient though it would be better to add the element type or anything to narrow it down before looking for attributes.

@vaibhav - Add them beside each other without a space to only select elements that have both: `$("[regex][error]")`.

@vaibhav: you can chain strings together like `$('[regexp][error]')`

@Nick: seriously, do you have a script or something that autorefreshes stackoverflow all the time? :p

@jAndy - the notification icon in the toolbar (The stackexchange one) is instant how, so I see replies quicker than before it was added, yes :)
