jquery selector no longer working in version 2.1.0.min

Hello Experts,

This selector worked in 1.7.1. min, now I am getting the following error in Chrome. Does anyone know why?

$('input:checkbox[@id]').filter(function () {

uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: input:checkbox[@id] jquery-2.1.0.min.js:2

Are you sure? I usually use # not @ for id

$('input:checkbox[#id]').filter(function () {

Or it's a typo?

no not a typo
it has been that way for a long time. I searched back releases.

Here is the code up to the else statement

function NodeChecked(currentNode) {
       var id = currentNode.id;
       var currentCheckbox = $('#' + id);

       if (currentCheckbox.is(':checked') == true) {

       // It's a primary node
       if (id.indexOf('-') <= 0) {

       $('input:checkbox[@id]').filter(function() {
       var regex = new RegExp('^' + id + '-');
       if ($(this).attr('id').match(regex) !== null) {
       $(this).prop('checked', true);
       }
       });
       }

       } else {

I'm happy to help you, we have been lucky: I never heard about @ in jquery! ;-)
