Thanks Nick.
Also I have tried IE8 and concluded that what si "recommended" in
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#typenmsp
also does not work in IE8.
So "dbj|root" we can forget about. At least for now.
I am deliberately using namespaces xml element so that I can have
cross browser storage in my pages. So far so good. This works :
// IE8
$('#dbj_metadata').remove();
$("head").prepend("<dbj:root xmlns=dbj:'dbj.org.schema'
id='dbj_metadata' ></dbj:root>")
$("#dbj_metadata")[0].outerHTML
/*
<?xml:namespace prefix = dbj /><dbj:root id=dbj_metadata
xmlns="dbj:'dbj.org.schema'"></dbj:root>
*/
I can select using ID. And yes outerHTLM is interesting ;o)
Styling namespaced xml elements in (X)HTML pages is a very moot point.
As far as I can see the only sure (and important) and common thing is
they are invisible. Therefore ideal for little metadata side storage.
I have no looked into how jQ does this for implementing data() method.
I just know it is storing 'data# somewhere in the page (not on the
element) ..
