XHTML .html() on <table> & subelements

[anthonyryan1@…]

All .html() calls modifying <table> or subelements of it are failing on documents in XHTML mode.

I will provide a test case shortly.

Unfortunately I don't believe jsFiddle can provide a proper XHTML document for this test case, so I've hosted it here for time being: ​https://whatbox.ca/bugs/jq13200

I've tested and got this problem in Firefox 17, Chrome 24 & Opera 12.11.

Ugh. I am pretty sure this is due to removing the closing tags in .clean(), which is now part of .buildFragment(). I should have thought of that case, but unfortunately we don't yet run the unit tests in XHTML. See #10198.

@orkel can you take a look?

P.S. I hate XHTML.

@dmethvin i should have foresee this too :-(, @anthonyryan1 many thanks!

PR's for ​1.9 and ​2.0

[dmethvin]

Yeah as soon as I saw this ticket I realized why we still needed them. I guess we all hate XHTML! Thanks for the pulls, I'm on a plane and my battery is almost gone so I'll land them, um, when I land.

[markelog]

I didn't before, but now i really do... safe landing!

I just feel the need to chime in pro-XHTML.

Leaving out the ending tag in HTML is like never using semicolons in your javascript. While you can do it, it can cause rare but unexpected consequences when misused. As such, it's always preferable to use them as the language intended.

Just my two cents.

Fixes #13200 - innerHTML in buildFragment need end tags
