You've guessed it, it's unfeasible, the amount of effort that takes
makes my head hurt :)
Anyway, i found the little bug in prototype (hooray!).
IE8 and FF3 have their selectors go into 'selectorsAPI' mode, now into
some debugging (version: 1.6.0.3)
<<
2723: this.mode = 'selectorsAPI';
...
2823: findElements: function(root) {
...
2837: case 'selectorsAPI':
...
2842: var oldId = root.id, id = $(root).identify();
2843: e = "#" + id + " " + e;
alert(e) // you'll see how the dots are confusing
the selector for classnames ...
>>
Now for a fix, i changed the following line in Element#identify
<<
1782: if (id) return id.replace(/\./g, '\\.');
>>
to escape the dots.
with that, the unit test will succeed.
I'm not sure if this is the best way to go around it, or if there is
another chars for escaping, so it's in your hands now.
Waiting for the feedback and hopefully a patch :)
cheers
