[jQuery] jQuery support for namespace attributes
Hello all,
Are there any plans to add support for namespace qualified attribute
selectors? This would would allow the following code to work with the
example xhtml doc.
Script:
$('table[@my:data-url]');
Doc:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:my="urn:my-stuff">
...
<table my:data-url="getdata?type=employees-by-project">
<colgroup my:field-expr='lastName "," firstName'/>
<colgroup my:field-expr='deptName "(" deptId ")"'/>
<colgroup my:field-expr='projectName'/>
...
In the example above, the table is rendered on-the-fly from the results of
my:data-url and the column TDs are populated using the expressions in
my:field-expr.
I've got my own code that can handle the qualified attributes (and works
around an issue with table tags and IE6), but I can't figure out how the
regexp filter for attributes in jQuery work. Since namespacing is the
preferred method to combine custom data with an established xml format (like
html), I think this would be a great addition to jQuery's XML support.
