Description
If you are in IE6 and do an ajax get to insert
some snippet with a script/style tag. The new tag
is inserted inside the <base> not the <head> causing
a runtime error when the ajax call tries to remove the <script> later.
Here's the HTML we had
--- blank line here ignores the DOCTYPE an puts IE in quirks mode ---
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-W3CDTD XHTML 1.0 TransitionalEN" "http:www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html
xmlns= "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang= "en"
lang= "en"><head><base target="_top"/>
And here's the offending line of jquery.js
ajax: function( s ) {
...
if( head )
head.removeChild( script );
...
Seems like the change below is more robust and guaranteed to work for any node whatsoever.
if( head && script)
script.parentNode.removeChild( script );
There are a few other places in jquery with does this same kind of removal.
