Description

Hi.

jQuery JavaScript Library v1.7.1

I have element

<tr target="contacts" key="<1291012254.6.phantom@itoolabs.com>">

And i have query

a = $("tr[key='<1291012254.6.phantom@itoolabs.com>']")

Now a - is array with one text node, nodeValue is "<1291012254.6.phantom@itoolabs.com>"

But, i expect array with TR node

Bug?

This is running afoul of the "looks like HTML" rule, which sees the <> in the string and processes it like $(html) instead of $(selector). As of jQuery 1.9 we'll require any string processed by $(html) to *start* with a < character, otherwise it will be treated as a selector. For cases where you want leading text nodes there is already $.parseHTML() which needs documentation still.

I've got a much smaller patch for this, but there is still an outstanding issue to address. Unfortunately I have to leave and drive 4 hours to Boston so I'll update when it's complete.

Isn't this a duplicate of #11290 ?

Duplicate of #11290.Although this isn't an exact dup of #11290 it will be fixed when we simplify the "looks like HTML rule".
