[jQuery] Bug in jquery 1.2.1 .text() with Opera 9.x?


Hi.
I have to strip html-tags from a string. I use $(a.response).text(),
which works in FF 2.x, IE 7, Safari 3Beta, all on win xp, but with
Opera 9.24 i get the complete html-document, while a.response is
"[12:00] <span style...>Error</span>"
Is there any other simple method to strip the span-tag? In general i
would prefer the .text method, since its easy to use.
TIA, frank aka dfd
