You can't do $('*').filter('[nodeType=3]') because text nodes aren't
included when finding.
This is only valid when using .contents() but that only gathers the
childNodes, so you still need to recurse.In conclusion, jQuery doesn't save you much work, you'll probably have as many lines of code as a non-jQuery approach, and using jQuery will surely hit on perfomance. -- Ariel Flesler http://flesler.blogspot.com On 8 mayo, 03:39, darren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hey joe, it looks like testing node types may help with your problem. > Google node types and you'll find that DOM text nodes are type 3, > element nodes are type 1 etc etc. You could do something using the > selector expression [nodeType=3] to determine if the current node you > have selected is a text node. > > On May 7, 4:22 pm, Ariel Flesler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Hey, made a 10 min class to do this.
