I ran into a problem today trying to select elements in an XML tree. I finally got it to work, but I had to make my XML handling different from my HTML handling. Can someone help me to understand whether this is a jquery bug or just a gap in my understanding?
To select my desired node in my HTML document, I used this syntax: $('opti...@value="27"]') And it worked fine. Trying the same syntax on XML: $('effo...@weeknumber="5"], xml) Causes the Javascript to fail entirely. But when I remove the @ symbol: $('Effort[weekNumber="5"], xml) It works fine. Why is the syntax different for XML?
