No problem man. In the future feel free to bring issues like this up

quickly. Thanks for spotting this!

[jQuery] Re: "class" weirdness in loaded XML?!?
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?

I didn't notice the quotation discrepancy, good catch! Also, I know
they're not required, but it's good practice IMHO.

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.

I have something very strange going on trying to create a wrapped set
of elements from an xml file loaded via jquery's xmlhttprequest.

xml has a number of entries with class attributes that have multiple

When I use this selector:
$('span[class*=mycategory"],xml).length

[jQuery] Re: "class" weirdness in loaded XML?!?
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.

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

why not do this
$('span.mycategory').length
(I've not worked with jquery and xml so I don't know anything about it)
