Description

TypeError occurred at line 1017 of 1.3b1 while using Taconite plugin to inject a script element into the document head.

This screenshot shows the error in Firebug:

http://jquery.malsup.com/test13/test-taconite.png

Test page here:

http://localhost:8888/malsup/test13/test-taconite-1.3b1.html

Same test using 1.2.6:

http://localhost:8888/malsup/test13/test-taconite-1.2.6.html

I tried for quite a while to prepare a small test case but couldn't seem to get the same error to occur without using Taconite. :-(

The problem only occurs if a script DOM element is passed into jQuery.clean:

  $(document.createElement("script")).appendTo("head");

The script processing at line 994 only happens if the incoming argument is a string; it needs to be moved outside that test ... er, somehow. :-)

I created a simpler test case for this. The problem is in the assumption that a script element has a parent node. This is not true for script elements that have been created but not inserted into the DOM.
