title: jQuery maxlength attribute problem with textareas
body: <p>With jQuery version 1.2.3 I'm trying to add nodes after textarea elements with attribute 'maxlength' but it doesn't work:</p>
  
  <p><code>
  $("textarea[@maxlength]").after("&lt;b&gt;Aint working&lt;/b&gt;");
  </code></p>
  
  <p>This is the HTML code:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;textarea maxlength="500"&gt;This is a test.&lt;/textarea&gt;</code><br>
  <code>&lt;textarea maxlength="250"&gt;Yet another line.&lt;/textarea&gt;</code><br>
  <code>&lt;textarea maxlength="125"&gt;Bar or foo, whatever.&lt;/textarea&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>The odd thing is, if I change the attribute <code>maxlength</code> with e.g. <code>rel</code> than it works just fine!</p>
  
  <p>Check out this real life example:

  <p>PS: I'm aware of the [@attribute] notation which is no longer supported in jQuery 1.3, but this has nothing to do with the problem.</p>
