Jquery multiple selector criteria with Internet Explorer

I'm trying to select items which match ".class#id", something that seems so natural as per Jquery multiple selectors, select items which match both criteria ,

but it only seems to work in firefox. Does IE just not support this?!

Specifically, I have

<div id="A" class="x">
  <div id="A" class="y">
  </div>
</div>

And I want to select $( ".y#A" )

Thanks, Nick

IE will complain that you have 2 elements with the same ID and cause some unusual behaviour.

You should not have multiple elements with the same identifier. Internet Explorer probably recognizes this. (Or does not recognize this, but it coincidentally has a bug that behaves as if it did, and Microsoft decided to call it a feature.)

Simply give the elements that currently have the same ids, different ids and a common class name. Then you can use$('.class.class2') and it will work in IE.
