create namespaced elements when building the jQuery.support object

[bridget.almas]

To build the jQuery.support object, the code creates a number of html elements using document.createElement and then proceeds to test the browser behavior against them. This is problematic when jQuery is used in an XUL extension, as the elements are not recognized as HTML elements when the document object used to create them is an XUL document. I think using document.createElementNS, specifying the xhtml namespace, rather than document.createElement might work around this issue.

Not sure if we are supporting an XUL context.

There is a special fork of jQuery called ​jQuery-xul at github, it is compatible with FireFox xul model.

i tried your jquery-xul, unfortunately it didn't work for me. i've a simple toolbar application, i don't have any problem with my main application overlay, even with plane jquery-1.4.4 but in preferences dialog xul, jquery prevents xul elements' addition to dom.

there is no problem with jquery-1.2.6.

-1, Well, script tag injection will also fail for one and other places too I'm sure. AFAIK, XUL extensions are not a supported environment and that has everything to do with XML being so unfriendlily pedantic.
