.text() doubles text for last xml item on (mobile) Safari

[mail2008@…]

Dear jQuery-Team, I think I found a bug:

• I load XML data to jQuery, part of it contains CDATA.
• I output a CDATA node.
• When iterating through the elements, everything is fine, except for the last element in the XML list: Here, all CDATA text (only this!) is doubled.

See: ​http://jsfiddle.net/pHAUb/3/

This happens only in Mobile Safari (iPhone 4, iOS 6). I don't have an iPad or a Mac to test if it happens on other Apple products as well. It does NOT happen in Firefox, Chrome or IE9.

Best regards, Markus

I forgot one thing: It must have something to do with the selector 'item[id="xxx"]'. When I access the CDATA node using the .eq(index) selector, the error does not appear.

This sounds like it may be a Mobile Safari bug if it only happens on one browser. Can you create a test case that shows it working properly without jQuery?

[mail2008@…]

Sorry, I wouldn't know how to do this. All I can say is that even WITH jQuery it can work properly if I use another selector: .eq(index) instead of .find('item[id="xxx"]'). It only fails using the .find('item[id="xxx"]') selector.

Can anyone else repro this? I don't have iOS6.

Anyone who can repro is welcome to provide additional information and a patch.

We have the same or a similar problem on our mobile site when using .text on an element. We are replacing a phone number when the page loads.

Works fine on desktop but mobile safari is doubling the phone number in the header and footer. It's also a problem on our area page ​http://www.meyerre.com/area/

As it turns out, this stemmed from numeric values of the "id" attribute.
