Hi,
Are you supposed to be able to use jquery to search for non-html
elements? I've got a web-app that is sending out xrefs which are
recursively expanded by jquery using the following function.
function expand_refs (context) {
$("xref",context||document).each(function (i) {
var rpl = cache[$(this).attr("ref")]||0;
if(rpl){
var cntxt = $(rpl).insertAfter(this);
$(this).remove();
expand_refs(cntxt);
}
});
}
This seems to work ok for some cases but I'm having trouble with a
select list. The options inside are not being expanded. The
following page illustrates the behaviour. openair.js just calls
expand_refs on document ready.
When expand_refs gets around to expanding "MYSELECT", it can't find
any xrefs and so stops expanding that sub-tree and moves on to the
next one. Am I doing something wrong?
Cheers,
Andy
