the filter of contents() can't get correct nodes

[181652432@…]

example: html:

<p>Hello <a href="http://ejohn.org/">John</a>, how are you doing?</p>

jquery:

$("p").contents().not("[nodeType=1]").wrap("<b/>");

then, the result should be：

<p><b>Hello</b> <a href="http://ejohn.org/">John</a>, <b>how are you doing?</b></p>

but in version 1.7.2, i get the result:

<p>Hello <b><a href="http://ejohn.org/">John</a></b>, how are you doing?</p>

That's all kinds of broken. There is no nodeType *attribute* in your markup.

Please provide a jsFiddle.net example of what you are expecting.

I use the webkit browser.When I import the jquery of version 1.5.2, the Example is worked.When i update the jquery to version 1.7.2,it's not work.

I have the html:

<div>
menuName
<ul>
  <li>menu1</li>
  <li>menu2</li>
  <li>menu3</li>
</ul>
</div>

I got the menuName when i use the follow script(jquery-1.5.2). script:

$("div").contents().not("[nodeType=1]").text()

but after i updated the jquery 1.7.2, i couldn't get it.

sorry,the comment:2 is not corrent.

jsFiddle:

example for 1.3.2: ​http://jsfiddle.net/hY2yL/1/

example for 1.7.2: ​http://jsfiddle.net/hY2yL/2/

See bottom example: ​http://api.jquery.com/contents/

The selector you're using is for attributes, not properties. I'm guessing the behaviour you're labeling "correct" in version 1.3.2 was actually not intended.

Agreed with anonymous, the fact that Sizzle grabbed properties as well as attributes was a bug.

Also, in general, jQuery does not support manipulation of text nodes. Many methods may either remove them or fail to work properly with them. Remember that CSS selectors cannot select text nodes.
