[jQuery] 1.3, attributeStartsWith and '['

Mon, 19 Jan 2009 04:19:58 -0800 

Hello,
I have strange problem with attribute StartsWith in new version of
jQuery.
This code gives 'FOUND' in 1.2.6 and 'NOT FOUND' in 1.3.
There's a problem with [name^='item['], [name^='item[1]'] works fine.
Is this a bug, or expected behavior?

Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">

        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/

        <script type="text/javascript">
                $(document).ready(function(){
                        if($("[name^='item[']").length==0){
                                alert('NOT FOUND');
                        }
                        else {
                                alert('FOUND');
                        }
                });
        </script>
</head>
<body>
        <input type="text" name="item[1]" value="1"/>
</body>
</html>
