I'm sure the core folks have thick skins, but was "gaping" _really_ necessary? On Jun 30, 6:57 pm, Jonny Nott <jonn...@gmail.com> wrote: > I *think* this is exactly what html5shiv is doing.

It looks like a bug in the old version of Sizzle that Prototype incorporates. You can see it vs. the current version of Sizzle (in jQuery) here: http://jsbin.com/osufay In contrast, if I go back to an earlier version of jQuery with an older Sizzle, it fails in the same sort of way: http://jsbin.com/osufay/2 And if I go back to Prototype 1.6.0 (which didn't use Sizzle, it had its own selector engine), it works: http://jsbin.com/osufay/3 So it was a bug in Sizzle that's been fixed. The fix would be to upgrade the Sizzle bundled in Prototype to the latest version. -- T.J.
