Description

It seems that when I use .replaceWith() on the root element of the DOM, it erase the document.

My document :

<content><p>stuffs</p></content>

The code :

var content = $(doc).find('content');
content.replaceWith(content.html());

Instead I use :

var content = $(doc).find('content');
content.after(content.html());
content.remove();

I can't past this code into jsFiddle, because it automatically adds a body tag, so the situation is different.

Is this an XML document? If so you'd want to use $.parseXML. If it's an HTML document, how are you getting a content element under the document element?

In fact, my case is a bit atypical :

I use jQuery in Node to parse some DOM and insert some content.

So if meta.template is <content></content>, and meta.content exist, I will replace the entire content tag with meta.content

// Creating the document
var doc  = jsdom.jsdom(meta.template? meta.template : '').createWindow().document,
    $doc = $(doc);

// Inserting content
$doc.find(key).html(meta[key]);

Yes, it does sound very atypical and not something we can officially support since we have no unit tests for that environment. If it works, great. If it doesn't, sorry.
