HTML comments break when() then()

[wheresrhys@…]

$.when("/my/ajax/url.php").then(function(html) {

breaks if the html begins with a comment

}

I've tried to create a test case using jsFiddle - ​http://jsfiddle.net/wheresrhys/dggAB/#base - but struggling with getting the ajax API to return anything at all

Just realised I shoudl've included an example of code that breaks when html begins with a comment, so:

$(html) doesn't build any DOM nodes

You can mock ajax requests using jsFiddle by using '/echo/json/' or '/echo/jsonp/'. Could you let us know once you've updated it and is reproducing the issue you experienced?

But I've been trying to use the jsFiddle API for echo/html/ and it keeps on returning an empty string. The test case is set up at ​http://jsfiddle.net/wheresrhys/dggAB/#base aside from that I can't get the echo/html API to work.

Use type instead of method. Works for me.
