Syntax error - unrecognized expression in jquery 1.4.2

[Yannick Grenzinger]

A use of JQuery 1.4.2 in the javascript or our website crash the
WebDriver's test with HtmlUnitDriver (works with FirefoxDriver)

A problem with internal javascript motor ?

See the exception below.
Do i have to open an issue at Selenium ?

[Simon Stewart]

The exception states that there is a syntax error in the JS. Looks to
be a problem either with HtmlUnit or, more likely, with Rhino (the JS
engine that HtmlUnit uses) I'd suggest contacting the HtmlUnit team
first, as they may already be aware of this problem.

Simon
