So what should the jQuery collection look like for $("texty-stuff<div>hello</div>") ? jQuery doesn't return text nodes in its collections.

Your original forum entry and ticket unfortunately do not contain sufficient information for us to establish how you would like the text nodes to be returned. As dmethvin previously mentioned, we don't return text nodes in collections, however, if you would like to re-submit your ticket or further continue the discussion via the forum thread we'll be happy to discuss what is returned once further info is available to us.
