Standup 2011-02-28: The Cowbell Isn't Going To Ring Itself

“jQuery throwing a syntax error when using is("[data-foo]")?”

Has anyone seen jQuery throw a syntax error when passing a data- attribute name to the is() function? This code often works, but started throwing a syntax error after some markup was removed and then re-inserted into the DOM:

$("#foo").attr("data-bar") = 5;
$("#foo").is("[data-bar]");

Interesting Things

  • Rails 3.0.5 has been released.
  • The Nordic Ruby Conference call for proposals ends today, so hurry up and submit.
  • Rails Conf 2011, which is being held in my hometown of Bal-ti-more, just announced its keynote speakers. Check them out.

    Shouldn’t that be :

    $(“#foo”).attr(“data-bar”, 5);

    I’m pretty sure what you have there doesn’t work…
