Description

I'm getting inconsistant results across browsers with the following code (note -- files are attached):

test.html

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-W3CDTD HTML 4.01EN"

"http:www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<html lang="en">

<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/

ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

</head>

<body>

<script>

var xml;

$.ajax({

type: "GET",

url: "data.xml",

success: function(data){

var node = $("CI:first", data);

var query1 = $("T TX", node).length;

var query2 = $("T", node).find("TX").length;

var msg = '$("T TX", node).length: ' + query1;

msg += "\\n";

msg += '$("T", node).find("TX").length: ' + query2;

alert(msg);

}

});

</script>

</body>

</html>

data.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?>

<CNs>

<CI>

<T>

<TX></TX>

</T>

</CI>

<CI>

<T>

<TX></TX>

<TX></TX>

What should happen is this:

  • Load xml via ajax call
  • select an xml node: $("CI:first", data);
  • select a node within that node: $("T TX", node)
  • second selection should only come up with one "TX" tag

However, in IE6 and IE8 (haven't tried IE7), the second selection

seems to ignore the "node" context, and search the entire xml

document. The test runs as expected in FireFox and Safari. Doing it

this way works in IE $("T", node).find("TX"). Any explanations of why $

("T TX", node) doesn't work in IE?

test case works for me. Looks like it was fixed in 1.4.
