[jQuery] Remove() xml nodes doesnt work in ie

[ngjgf]

Using remove() on a xml document wont work in ie 7. (works fine in ff)

Example:

$(this.xmlDoc).find("gd > cd").remove();

Results in js error: "Object doesnt support this property or method"
which points to line 666 in jquery, id = elem[ expando ] = ++uuid;

Anyone know a work around/way to fix for this?
