$(...).remove() in IE6

[alelgert@…]

Hello,

there is a Browser related difference in the functionality of remove().

Just create two elements with the same ID and IE 6 is not able to remove them all.

In IE8 and Firefox 3.5.3, the function works as said in the documentation, but not in IE6.

Example code:

<table border>

<tbody>

<tr id="user_2">

<td> </td> <td>2</td>

</tr> <tr id="user_2">

<td> </td> <td>2</td>

</tr>

</tbody>

</table> <script>

$(document).ready(function(){

$("tr#user_2").remove();

});

</script>

Greetings,

Alexander Elgert

A document that contains two elements with the same id attribute is invalid.
