[jQuery] Re: class weirdness in loaded XML?!?
why not do this
$('span.mycategory').length
(I've not worked with jquery and xml so I don't know anything about it)

You should wrap your string in '?
so your code would be
$('span[class*='mycategory'],xml).length

Thank you for the reply, but I'm afraid that doesn't work either.
Using your code (after correcting the small typos with the quotes) I
tried this:
$(span[class*='mycategory'],x).length
It still returns zero.

The string does not need to be wrapped in single quotation marks.
Also, why does the selector begin with a single quotation mark and end
with a double? Are these just typos in the emails?
Try this:
$('span[class*=mycategory]',xml).length
Just one set of single quotation marks, and the closing mark is to the
right of the closing bracket.

Tragically none of those quoting variations work. (I've pretty much
exhausted every quote variation in my desperate search to try to
figure out what's going on.)
Any other ideas? Could this possibly be a jquery bug?
