find(escaped expression) x-browser compatability issue

find(escaped expression) x-browser compatability issue


Regarding bug 3435 that I added 5 days ago, am I supposed to flag it
up to people on this mailing list or will a jQuery developer examine
it in due course? (Sorry I'm new to bug reporting in jQuery)
Using find('georss\\:point').text() to extract text from an XML/RSS
node called georss:point you have to escape the colon with \\.
However, this specific code only works in IE 6+7 and FF 3 but does not
return a result for Opera 9, FF 2, Safari 3, and Chrome 1.
I've included example code and XML in the ticket.
This is my first post and bug report so please be kind to me if I've
done anything wrong. Thanks in advance.
Gary.
