jQuery 1.3 upgrade & selector bug

I've just upgraded my website to jQuery 1.3. First thing that broke was the attribute selector. This was well documented in the jQuery 1.3 Release Notes - Upgrading as well as in the documentation. So this was easily fixed.

Another problem I had was with a selector matching <select> tags, such as

$('.size select')

For some reason it is no longer matching the <select> tag, but it's <option> tags instead. There is plenty of buzz about how jQuery switched to Sizzle.js selector engine and all the performance gains. I have not found any information pointing to the change that causes by selector bug. Navigating to the parent node solved the issue for me, but it's more like an ugly hack rather than expected behavior.

$('.size select').parent()

Anybody else noticed this problem?

Tagline

It has been quite a few busy weeks since my last post. I was heavily snowed down with work on my website. Then there was Christmas and new years celebrations.

Happy new year, everybody! On the optimistic note:

Let the new year be better than it is going to be!

:-)

What am I doing right now?

I am thinking about a tag line for my new website. The site will be selling special t-shirts for couples. These t-shirts will have funny designs split 50:50. So the big question is what should the tag line say?

Couple of my (pretty bad) ideas:

• Couple T-Shirts ...because one is not complete
• Couple T-Shirts two is better than one
• Couple T-Shirts one for you, one for your +1

I would like to hear your suggestions.
