All, I am trying to use jQuery to manage an XML document in memory to represent a back-end data store. I discovered that when I create new tags using document.createElement() instead of $(tag).clone(), it creates the new tag with the tag name in all uppercase.
Now, if I am searching for the tag using jQuery selectors, all is well, until I try to do a mixed-case tag. If I create 'someElement' and then search for 'someElement', it can't find it. It created it as <SOMEELEMENT> but when searching the DOM for 'someElement' it won't find it. So, is this just the way it is? Should I resign myself to this limitation? Or is there another way of creating XML nodes for inclusion in an XML tree that I should be using if I want mixed-case tag names? -- John
