BR to new line when working with pre elements

[luka8088]

Hi, I need to manipulate with text() taken from pre element... When content of that element is dynamically changed (new line is added), some browsers (firefox) adds br element, and then, when I fetch text() with query that newline is ignored... so, I have suggestion to change text() function from:

jQuery.each( text

this, function(){

jQuery.each( this.childNodes, function(){

if ( this.nodeType != 8 )

ret += this.nodeType != 1 ?

this.nodeValue : jQuery.fn.text( [ this ] );

});

});

to:

jQuery.each( text

this, function(){

jQuery.each( this.childNodes, function(){

if ( this == '[object HTMLBRElement]' )

ret += '\n';

else if ( this.nodeType != 8 )

ret += this.nodeType != 1 ?

this.nodeValue : jQuery.fn.text( [ this ] );

});

});

on line 207 in jquery-1.3.2.js

Thanks ! :)

Please attach a test case that demonstrates when this problem occurs.
