The problem happens with all browsers, including Firefox. But the bug
does not happen on Firefox *if* I'm debugging with Firebug.
The instance of $('#foo') that fails executes correctly 99% of the
time and then fails in one particular case. In the case that it
fails, the DOM node is clearly visible if I do 'view source' on the
page. So my question is... What would cause that to happen?
It's plausbile that your comment about the DOM tree might be related
to the bug. If an ajax call fetches a chunk of html from the server,
what is the correct way to add that html to the DOM tree (instead of
just appending it as text)?
Thanks!
