var $xml = $("<x:root xmlns:x='uri' xmlns:y='uir2' ><x:node x:name='n1'>No </x:node><y:node>namespaces</y:node></x:root>");
$xml.find("*[x:name=n1]").length < 1 /* Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [x:name=n1] */ $xml.find("*[x\\:name=n1]").length < 1 /* true */ $xml.find("*[name=n1]").length < 1 /* true */ Therefore : 1. *Sizzle* does not support namespaces in selector syntax 2. for node selectors namespaces will be ignored 3. for attribute selectors namespaces are provoking error . silent or not.
