Question

With jQuery 1.4.2 and many previous version it is possible to select inputs like this:

$('input[value=test]')

But with 1.4.3 and higher this selector doesn’t work =(
Is there any way to select by value in newer versions of jQuery?

Answer 1

So, the solution is to add this to js:

$('input').bind('keyup change',function() {
    $(this).attr('value',this.value)
});

After years I came up with this actually:

jQuery('input,textarea').live('keyup change', function(e) {
    var ignore_codes = [16,9,33,34,36,35,45,38,40,37,39];//arrows and others
    if (e.keyCode && jQuery.inArray(e.keyCode, ignore_codes) < 0)//ignore this keyUps to let this keys work as expected
    {
        var cp = getCP(this);
        jQuery(this).attr('value', this.value);
        setCP(this,cp);
    }
    });
    function setCP(ctrl, pos){
        if(ctrl.setSelectionRange) {
            ctrl.focus();
            ctrl.setSelectionRange(pos,pos);
        } else if (ctrl.createTextRange) {
            var range = ctrl.createTextRange();
            range.collapse(true);
            range.moveEnd('character', pos);
            range.moveStart('character', pos);
            range.select();
        }
    }
