Issue Summary

Greetings,

I've been noticing an error in Firefox for some time now, but have paid it little mind. It also crops up in IE 7/8 in a slightly different manner, but I believe it is the same problem. I found an issue for jQuery Update for Drupal 6 which I believe is related - http://drupal.org/node/888406

In Firefox I am seeing:

uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [href=/]

In IE I am seeing:

This was an issue in both 7.2 stable and dev releases.
