  1. POjQuery wrappers for HTML fragment vs xmlDOM fragment?
    text
    copied!<p>I don't understand the conceptual and functional difference between a jQuery wrapper around xmlDom object vs plain old html markup.</p> <p>I can call jQuery methods on both but they act differently which surprises me a bit.. I guess I assumed I could wrap any html/ xml markup with jQuery and it would act about the same. </p> <p>I'm using the xmlDOM plugin to get a jQuery wrapped xmlDom object:</p> <p><a href="http://outwestmedia.com/jquery-plugins/xmldom/" rel="nofollow">http://outwestmedia.com/jquery-plugins/xmldom/</a></p> <p>here's a fiddle: </p> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/YL8bY/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/YL8bY/</a></p> <pre><code>&lt;body&gt; &lt;b&gt;xmlDOM Wrapper&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt; XML fragment: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;div id="xmldomdiv1"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; HTML fragment: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;div id="xmldomdiv2"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;b&gt;jQuery Wrapper &lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt; XML fragment: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;div id="jqdiv1"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; HTML fragment: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;div id="jqdiv2"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;script&gt; var xmlfragment = '&lt;book&gt;&lt;title&gt;My Book Title&lt;/title&gt;&lt;author&gt;Joe Author&lt;/author&gt;&lt;/book&gt;'; var htmlfragment = '&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Book Title&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Joe Author&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;'; var $xmldomxml = $.xmlDOM( xmlfragment ); var $xmldomhtml = $.xmlDOM( htmlfragment ); var $jqxml = $( xmlfragment ); var $jqhtml = $( htmlfragment ); $('#xmldomdiv1').append( $xmldomxml.find('title, author')); $('#xmldomdiv2').append( $xmldomhtml.find('p')); $('#jqdiv1').append( $jqxml.find('title, author')); $('#jqdiv2').append( $jqhtml.find('p')); console.log("Here's fragment vars: "); console.log($xmldomxml); console.log($xmldomhtml); console.log($jqxml); console.log($jqhtml); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre>
