Incompatibility with Jquery 1.3+ and Drupal

I noticed an incompatibility with the latest versions of Jquery (Ver 3+) and Drupal. the following error message was being shown:

[Exception... "'Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [@disabled]' when calling method: [nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]"  nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"  location: "<unknown>"  data: no]

This was causing a problem loading the FCK elements on the node edit page. the solution was to use jquery version 1.2.6
