Is jquery still not handling namespaces?
I've been working on a project that uses namespaced attributes. I had
thought, given that the bottom of the "selectors" documentation talks
about escaping special characters so they can be used in selectors,
that jquery at this point could handle such namespaced attributes.
But it seems that it cannot---the enclosed html shows jquery failing
to find a namespaced attribute. Am I wrong that jquery can handle
namespaces? Or am I doing something else wrong? Is there some way I
can efficiently get at a particular namespaces attribute?
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/
jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
var node=$("<div><span></span></div>");
var child=node.children();
child.attr("ex:foobar","baz");
child.attr("foobar","baz");
alert("constructed this fragment: " + node.html());
var first = node.find("[foobar]");
alert("matches without namespace: " + first.length);
first.each(function (i) {alert("without namespace: " + $(this).text
())});
var second = node.find("[ex\\:foobar]");
alert("matches with namespace: " + second.length);
second.each(function (i) {alert("with namespace: " + $(this).text
())});
</script>
</body>
