IE7: .text() returns empty string on <script> elements

[anonymous]

jsFiddle: ​http://jsfiddle.net/KTjfK/

<script type="text/x-data">
some text
</script>				
<script type="text/javascript">
var txt = $('script[type="text/x-data"]').text();
alert(txt)
</script>

Expected: txt == 'some text'

Actual in IE7: text ==

Related to #9832. Not sure if we'll land anything for this. For example, I can't see adding a .text() setter for script tags and expecting that to execute!

Use $('script[type="text/x-data"]').html() to return the contents of non-executable script elements
