I want to build a query that finds elements that have the autofocus-attribute and are also inputs(or selects).

using this Skeleton….

<html><head>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="maindiv">
        <form class="someclass">
            <input type="text" />
            <input type="text" autofocus="autofocus" />
        </form>
    </div>
</body></html>

… i try

$('#maindiv .someclass [autofocus="autofocus"]')

Which returns one input, as expected

$('#maindiv .someclass :input')

Returns both inputs.

But combining the two always results in an empty list.

$('#maindiv .someclass [autofocus="autofocus"]:input')
$('#maindiv .someclass :input[autofocus="autofocus"]')
$('#maindiv .someclass :input').filter('[autofocus="autofocus"]')

This one

$('#maindiv .someclass [autofocus="autofocus"]').filter(':input')

works and returns one input.

Why is this?

    Seems to be a bug happening until version 1.6 of jQuery and is fixed in 1.7 where the code works.
