xml() function, or addition to html() function

[yuniti]

Not sure what the preference would be - the advantage of making an xml() function would be that it is more sensical and would not allow a parameter, whereas html() would be consistent. In any case, below are both functions. xml() has been tested, html() was simply modified using the xml() code.

html: function( value ) {

var node = this[0]; return value === undefined ?

(node ?

(node.innerHTML ?

node.innerHTML.replace(/ jQuery\d+="(?:\d+|null)"/g, "") :

(node.xml

(new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(node)

"")

.replace(new RegExp("(^{<
w*" + node.tagName + "[}>]*>)|(<
w*
/
w*" + node.tagName + "[^{>]*>$)", "gi"), "")) :}

null) :

this.empty().append( value );

},

xml : function()

{

var node = this[0],

tagName = node.tagName;

if ( ! tagName )

return this.html();

return (node.xml

(new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(node)

"").replace(

new RegExp("(^{<
w*" + tagName + "[}>]*>)|(<
w*
/
w*" + tagName + "[^{>]*>$)", "gi"), "");}

}

Jakibo had some good notes on this one on the dupe ticket:

​https://github.com/jablko/jquery/commit/2fea569dce44e5f6df8d67fef277db4599d4aab2 ​http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-dev/browse_thread/thread/594106bdd4dc7375?pli=1 ​http://www.sfu.ca/~jdbates/tmp/jquery/201004090/patch

Dmethvin asked for a less magical approach though, so merging up minds for this one could help.
