jQuery - finding an element with multiple HTML tag attributes in it

Question

Why using this:

var parent = $('div.form.offer_mails');
var period = parent.find('input[type=checkbox,name=timeperiod]');

I get this (exception in my Mozilla Firefox Error Console):

Error: uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [type=checkbox,name=timeperiod]

Isn't it possible to search an element with more than one attribute and it's value?

Please explain and solutionize my problem. :)

Yes, in this way:

var period = parent.find('input[type=checkbox][name=timeperiod]');

Note that this is also a valid CSS selector.
