Description

hi,

I have a question about text method of jQuery, I know that it's a shortcut of Sizze.getText and it only accept array or element object as its argument. But I encounter one problem about it, if I pass a class or other string selector to it, it will cause an 'Uncaught RangeError' that exceeds the maximum call stack size.

I don't know whether is a bug or something else, but I think if I input the wrong arguments and at least it won't let the browser(such as Firefox) stop working.

Here is test case about it on jsfiddle.net.

thanks,

Khalil

It looks like you have confused jQuery.text with the .text ''[http://api.jquery.com/text/ instance method]'': http://jsfiddle.net/hZ9Hy/1/

Regardless, we don't generally make a point of adding code to support invalid arguments.

No, I'm not confused it with the .text instance method. I have emphasised that I just had a doubt about the jQuery.text method in the ticket.

Regardless, I have got your idea. However, I also think jQuery should avoid the misoperation of users, such as that.

thanks
