Hi,

After upgrading from Evo 1.0.5 to 1.0.14 I'm getting the following error message:

ManagerManager: An error has occurred: Error - Syntax error, unrecognized expression: input[name=tv24[]]

The TV in question, allowedComments, has the following values:

Input-type: Check box
Input Option Values: Yes==Yes
Default Value: No

The issue seems to be linked to the Input type. If I change it from check box to text the error goes. I've looked at ManangerManager (0.6.1) config and I don't see any obvious issues. I also don't see anything in the configuration chunk which has the following rule for allowedComments
```
mm_hideFields('clear_cache,content_dispo,allowComments'); 
```
My template calls the tv like so:
```
[*allowComments:is=`Yes`:then=`[*isfolder:is=`0`:then=`<div id="comments">[!Jot? &customfields=`name,email` &subscribe=`1` &pagination=`10` &badwords=`dotNet` &canmoderate=`Site Admins` !]</div>`*]`*]
```
Any ideas?

Hi. I Think a solution has been found by this time.
For the future (for me, search engeens..)

ManagerManager: An error has occured:
Error - Syntax error,
unrecognized expression: input[name=tv11[]]
Its because jQuery stumbles over the [] in the TV name.
Escaping the brackets in mm.inc.php line 146 and line 151 will do the trick:
change $fieldname_suffix = '[]';to $fieldname_suffix = '\\\\[\\\\]';

I'm not sure about this, but maybe this applies also to other jQuery versions...

Sucessfuly used few times. Line numbers can be different, depends on MM version
