Selectors like ".parent .child" doesn't work in IE8

[GoogleCodeExporter]

the code looks like below:
    <div id="container" class="container">
        <div id="area" class="area">data</div>
    </div>

and the selector code:
    GQuery q = $(".container .area");

Does gwtquery not support IE8? Or it's a bug?

Thanks in advance!

The following is the stacktrace.
