Closed Issue: Syntax error, unrecognized expression [10117]

On SP2010 getting "Syntax error, unrecognized expression" with latest version of JQuery library and lastest SPServices when calling:

var userName = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
fieldName: "Name"


Same code works fine with earlier version of JQuery & SPServices.
Comments: This is a known issue with jQuery 1.9.0, which the team has already fixed for the next version. Here's the bug in the jQuery bug tracker: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/13274
