Hi,
I just spotted in Revision 226, that jQuery will not by all means
support XHTML as XML.
Line 743 reads:
if ( table this.nodeName == TABLE a[0].nodeName != THEAD ) {
nodeName in XML preserves case, that means in XHTML as XML it would
return table and thead so that doesn't work here.
This may not have high priority but needs to be fixed, maybe in jQuery
1.01 or something?
Fix:
if ( table this.nodeName.toUpperCase() == TABLE
a[0].nodeName.toUpperCase() != THEAD ) {
Actually the standard fix I've seen most often is to fold to lowercase,
not uppercase. (Lowercase, because it's variable height, is generally
easier to read.)
This is an incompatibility between HTML (where JS folds to uppercase) and
XHTML/XML (where JS stays at the existing lowercase). Case folding to
lower is the recommended future-friendly method, I think.
