What I presented was a simplified example to better illustrate my
question. Here's a more realistic example:
function doTextManipulation(elem) {
var text = $(elem).text();
return /* my text manipulation algorithm */
}
The function above fails when a text node is passed in due to the fact
$().text() returns an empty string for all text nodes.
I personally believe this is a bug, but I could be wrong. This is why
I'm asking if $(document.createTextNode("test")).text() is expected to
return an empty string.
If this is an actual, then the fix is as simple as adding
if(text.nodeType === 3) { return text.nodeValue; } to the text
function in http://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/manipulation.js
(around line 36).
I hope this clears things up a bit.
Thanks,
Xavi
