Update from jQuery 1.7.1 to jQuery 1.10.2

Question

I had such js code it was running with jQuery 1.7.1

$("(.editor-field .input-field):has(input[data-val-required])").each(function () {
        $(this).prev().find("label").append("<strong style='color:#ff0000'>*</strong>")
        })

But now i changed to jQuery 1.10.2 and having problems with it. Getting an error message:

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: (.editor-field .input-field):has(input[data-val-required]) jquery-1.10.2.js:1850

Is there any chance to fix that?

Answer 1

The first set of parentheses are not necessary. Just remove them.

This should do what you want:

$(".editor-field .input-field:has(input[data-val-required])")

That is assuming you want the has part to only apply to the .input-field .
