I've been playing with writing XUL desktop apps. Currently building my own custom media center PC and a XUL app will be the core of it.
So I thought it would be really cool if I could use JQuery to manipulate my hybrid XUL / SVG / HTML doc just as I do on the websites I maintain. I include jquery-1.2.6.js, and many functions work fine immediately. However, a big chunk of JQuery doesn't work. Namely, code that inserts elements into the DOM fails. So I go through and change all the createElement calls in jquery-1.2.6.js to use createElementNS with the namespace "http:// www.w3.org/1999/xhtml". Bingo! It now works perfectly! I have the full JQuery goodness over SVG elements, XUL elements, HTML elements. Coding just got a lot easier. But I would love it if I could somehow tell JQuery "use createElementNS and the following namespace when creating elements". With this, I would not have to hack the JQuery core to get my app working.
