.clone() deletes / empties contents of inline SCRIPT tags

[nsfmc]

test case: ​http://jsfiddle.net/QCp2P/3/

until the .clone() is called, it's possible to query the contents of the script with .html()

The behavior works correctly in ff/safari/chrome, but in IE it seems that the cloning is causing the node to be emptied out even though the script is of type='foo/bar'

i'm not sure if this is related to this: ​https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/manipulation.js#L592

This is caused by our use of innerHTML as a better way to clone nodes in older IEs.

I'll patch this tonight

So, I took a closer look at this and realized that the problem you're having is caused by jQuery only looking for scripts that might be able to execute code when it does any kind of html manipulation with html(), clone() etc.

I can't see a simple or straightforward solution.

Replying to rwaldron:

I can't see a simple or straightforward solution.

although in my situation, i'm certainly executing the contents of the script tag, this seems like it would be potentially problematic if you were potentially cloning a script tag with type="text/handlebars".

again, i can agree that the use case for that is probably weak, but i'm trying to avoid putting code in divs (which we already do right now, potentially for this very reason).

thanks again for any insight.
