Hi, I've ran into a weird behavior loading a simple HTML page via $.ajax and then converting the response string to a JQuery object with $ (data).
I've written a script doing exactly this which work perfectly fine on my desktop computer using safari. As soon as I run the script on the intended platform (Palm WebOS), it works only in some cases and most of the time fails with an "Uncaught syntax error, unrecognized expression: >, jquery-1.3.2.js:19" I've followed a few debugging hints and clues and eventually narrowed down the problem, using a test string as the response HTML: "<html><body><form><input name='PHPSESSID' /></form><div>test</div></ body></html>" This string is being converted to a JQuery object without any problems, so I started adding a few "<div>test</div>" like this: "<html><body><form><input name='PHPSESSID' /></form><div>test</ div><div>test</div><div>test</div><div>test</div></body></html>" Turns out, this works until the string becomes too long and the conversion fails again with the above parsing error. No by "too long" I don't mean ridiculously long, just long as in average web page long or as in 30 to 40 additional <div>'s long. Does anybody have a clue where this might come from? Did I just run into a memory / heap / stack limitation of the browser on my mobile device? As is said my script works perfectly fine on a desktop computer and even on the mobile device, but on the latter only if loading really short remote html pages. I'd much appreciate any help with this matter. I know what the problem is but not really where it comes from and how to work around it.
