In jQuery, this is a selector of older syntax and what does it do?

Question

I see in code

$(".add-to-list :select :selected")

using jQuery, and we had jQuery 1.3.2, but updated to 1.4.2 recently. The line above actually speaks of a syntax error ... was it for jQuery 1.3.2 but not 1.4.2, and what does it do - any documents - and how do you do it in 1.4.2? thank.
