this is my first bug report, so pleas be kind and explain if i did something wrong.

$("*").filter("body, body *").css({display: "block", border: "1px solid red"});

even makes the head visible in safari.

i was writing a plugin that would break if * is supplied as argument, so i want to filter out the head(and everything in it) and html tags.

$("*").not("html, head, head *").css({display: "block", border: "1px solid red"});

stopped it from making the header visible and giving it red borders, but title and 2 script tags seem to be included still.

placing $("head").css("display", "block"); after it revealed that indeed the title and script tags had red borders.

however, if i just type the following in the head, nothing happens to it.

<style>

body, body * {

border:1px solid blue;

display:block;

}

</style>
