jQuery uncaught exception: syntax error, unrecognized expression [ tabindex=”someword”]
This error was occuring while using the syntax in jquery 1.5 or greater. The syntax seem to be working in jquery 1.4.
Example

Source File: http://www.somedomain.com/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.8.3
Solution
For the above code Change the syntax from
a[rel=Some text here]
to
a[rel="Some text here"]
Now it works.
