Ok, I realised now you want/need "only" namespaced attributes. I think in this case you are hitting head-on browser differences. Multiplied with the number of ways <!DOCTYPE > and <html xmlns:> influences namespaces in each one of them and Sizzle in turn.
Have you tried : <html xmlns:ex="david" > and/or $("html").prepend("<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = david />") ; But all of this is browser dependent, uncharted and jQuery unsupported .... AFAIK ? --DBJ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
