Having trouble with jQuery selectors and IE6

Question

I have the following code working perfeclty in FireFox, but it won't work at all on IE6:

$("[name=servicos\\[\\]]").each( function() {
  this.checked = false;
  alert(this.name);
 }
);

$.getJSON("check_servicos.php?id=" + id, 
 function(data) {    
  $.each(data, 
   function(key, val) {
    alert($("#" + key).attr("id"));
    if(val > 0) $("#" + key).attr("checked", "checked");
   }
  )
 } 
);

Could anyone tell me what I'm missing, other than a way to forcefully upgrade all browsers at my job?

Could you post the css/html elements that you are trying to select? — Charlie Brown, Jul 13 '10 at 18:46
I assume it is the first part that does not work (*not the getJSON*). Do you get error message ? wrong names ? `try alert($("[name=servicos\\[\\]]").length);` — Gabriele Petrioli, Jul 13 '10 at 18:47
All the elements are checkboxes, and if IE6 can give me error messages, I would like to know how, please. — Carlos, Jul 13 '10 at 20:19

Check that check_servicos.php is setting the correct content-type for JSON (correct content-type is discussed here: What is the correct JSON content type?).

I had a similar problem when trying to read XML and setting the content-type to "text/xml" solved my issue. I found the solution to my problem here: jQuery .find() doesn't return data in IE but does in Firefox and Chrome.

That part worked fine on FireFox. On IE, something keeps the whole function from working. Even something as simple as alert("This is a test") inside the function isn't being called on IE6. – Carlos Jul 13 '10 at 20:18
Just confirmed that setting the correct content type doesn't work. The only thing like it I saw before was when my javascript had an error and FF would tell me the function I was trying to call didn't exists. – Carlos Jul 13 '10 at 20:28
