I am stuck with an issue in IE 7. I have the following XML:

<x>
<aa>
<bb>111</bb>
<cc>222</cc>
</aa>
<aa>
<bb>333</bb>
<cc>444</cc>
</aa>
</x>

If I run a selector on this XML as follows:
$(“aa>bb:contains('333')+cc”,$('x')).text()
Firefox returns 444 whereas in Internet Explorer 7, there is no response.
Can somebody please tell me what the issue is?

condense_test.txt (FILE)

SampleAggregateFile.txt (FILE)

SampleDriver.txt (FILE)

and in my $(document).ready() function, I have:

$(“p:contains('SampleAggregateFile.txt'):contains('(FILE)')”).css(“background-color”,”red”);

$(“p:contains('SampleAggregateFile.txt (FILE)')”).css(“background-color”,”green”);

In IE8: I get green
In FF3.6, I get red

It looks like there are already bug reports about this issue, but I thought I'd comment here in case someone else has a similar issue. I used the the “red” version in my code since it works in both IE and FF.

in javascript when you use “text” the js interpreted this creating a String object, then um cause all method of this object. One of this methods is toString which return a pure string.

and there is other problem with this selector. You have to use ' ' to show the text which you want do search like this.

with a pure string
$(“p:contains('John') “)

so when you use a variable you have to continues using this ' '
$(“p:contains('” + name + “') “)

to close try this:
$(“div:contains('” + name.toString() + “' )”).css(“text-decoration”, “underline”);

To do something like that I would use the .filter() method with a function passed in. In your function you could have a little javascript to do something like that. If your array Is very big, though, you might want to think about something completely different for performance reasons
