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:
$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]: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.
