Doesn't work with older versions of jquery-rails

[Ajedi32]

I am in the process of upgrading my application from Bootstrap 2 to Bootstrap 3. After updating, I discovered the version of twitter-bootstrap-rails-confirm I had installed no longer worked correctly with the new version of Bootstrap (which I expected to happen, no problems there).

After updating twitter-bootstrap-rails-confirm from 1.0.1 to 1.0.4 though, the gem no longer worked at all. When clicking on buttons which required confirmation in my app, I received no confirmation message (the link target would just be navigated to with a get request) and the following error appeared in the console:

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: <div class="modal" id="confirmation_dialog" role="dialog">        <div class="modal-dialog">          <div class="modal-content">            <div class="modal-header">              <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>              <h4 class="modal-title">...</h4>            </div>            <div class="modal-body"></div>            <div class="modal-footer"></div>          </div>        </div>      </div>

Updating jquery-rails from 2.2.1 to 3.1.2 resolved the problem for me. I recommend you update the docs to indicate which versions of jquery are supported.

Or maybe this is an issue with Bootstrap itself? Not sure...

Hmm... could be. we'll have to test what jquery version triggers this error
