Because that is merely the text sent by the server to the browser. It's what the browser uses to generate the DOM, it is not the DOM itself. Know what I mean? Nathan

If its not in the DOM why do I see it in the source? I am having a disconnect here. I have fixed it as I said above. But I am curious I thought the DOM represented the HTML that is present at load time.

It's not the selectors; the problem is the tr never makes it into the DOM because the invalid html gets ignored by the browser. Because the tr isn't in the DOM, the selector has no chance of finding it. :) Nathan
[jQuery] Re: Cloning a table row that is not in a table
You are correct about that. But I did not think the selectors would enforce that. My solution is just to put another table with the row and hide that. Which makes it valid.
