1. the following code leads to Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Text> has no method 'getAttribute'

2. fixed it locally by adding "typeof(b.getAttribute) == 'function'" check

3. started since jquery 1.8, in jQuery 1.7.2 it was working fine

4. code example

$('#TestLink').live('click', function() {

console.log('click');

testLink = $(this);

targetUrl = testLink.attr('href');

$.ajax({

url: targetUrl,

success: function(data) {

console.log('ajax success');

dataElement = $(data);

dataElement.is("#main-content");

}

});

return false;

});

5. my local fix in jquery 1.8.2

filter: {

ID: d ?

function(a) {

return a = a.replace(V, ""), function(b) {

return typeof(b.getAttribute) == 'function' && b.getAttribute("id") === a

}

} : function(a) {

return a = a.replace(V, ""), function(b) {

var c = typeof b.getAttributeNode !== n && b.getAttributeNode("id");

return c && c.value === a

}

},
