Another Result in .html() with \r\n at the beginning (1.4pre)

[Sebmaster]

If you call .html('</body>\r\n</html>') on an div for example, you get a different value, than with .html('\r\n</body>\r\n</html>'). In jQuery 1.3.2, this isn't the case.

.html('\r\n&lt;/body&gt;\r\n&lt;/html&gt;') FF 3.5.5 + jQ 1.4pre => &lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt; FF 3.5.5 + jQ 1.3.2 => </body></html> IE 8 + jQ 1.4pre => </body></html> IE 8 + jQ 1.3.2 => </body></html>

I included the test case.

Test Case

The string passed to .html() should have matched tags, be able to be placed inside the <div> element that's used to convert it to DOM elements, and be valid for the doctype of the document. I updated the test case to reflect that and the problem is still there. It only seems to happen with leading spaces.

Updated test case showing problem with leading spaces

HTML output of the test case:

<div>&lt;div&gt;hello1&lt;/div&gt;</div>
<div>x&lt;div&gt;hello2&lt;/div&gt;</div>
<div> &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;hello2&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;</div>
