Question

In html I have on table like this:

<table for="availableTimeRanges"></table>

then I user jquery to find the table

var table = $("table[for='availableTimeRanges']");

In firefox and chrome, this works,can return the table, but in IE8, nothing return
Then i run below code in IE8, found the attribute value is empty:

$.each($("table"), function(i,n){
        alert($(n).attr("for")

});

what’s the reason

To add to what Šime Vidas said, Try Changing the name from for to something else like forparam, htmlfor, etc. (You can not use for with a table its for labels that are for an input)

$(function () {

        $('table[forparam=availableTimeRanges]').each(function () {
            alert($(this).attr('forparam'));
        });

    });
