Unrecognized expression jquery attribute selector

I get the following error:

Uncaught Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [src$=="copyright.gif"] k.errorjquery_1_6_2_min.js:17 k.filterjquery_1_6_2_min.js:17 kjquery_1_6_2_min.js:17 c.querySelectorAll.kjquery_1_6_2_min.js:17 f.fn.extend.findjquery_1_6_2_min.js:17 e.fn.e.initjquery_1_6_2_min.js:16 ejquery_1_6_2_min.js:16 (anonymous function)

when executing the following script:

var copyright = $('img[src$="copyright.gif"]').attr('src');

using the tag below:

<img border='0' src='/resources/copyright.gif' alt='copyright' />

Any ideas why this is happening? I am using 1.6.2.min.js

That works oh jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/vw6TS/2/. Are you using your own local copy of jquery if so make sure its a complete file and not corrupted.

It's happening because in the code you're actually doing 

$('img[src$=="copyright.gif"]').attr('src');

instead of what you posted, which is this 

var copyright = $('img[src$="copyright.gif"]').attr('src');
