Question

Feature detection in jquery : test if browser return nodes of type Text_Node

Answer 1

+2 A:

$('td') will always return a jQuery object, not an actual DOM element or node. jQuery does this in order to standardize behaviour and help alleviate the need for browser-specific handling of different types.

+1: you never need to know if the type is text_node if you always let jQuery handle the DOM manipulation.

My question was not well formulated. There is a thread on how to obtain text nodes with Jquery here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/298750/how-do-i-select-text-nodes-with-jquery. But Firefox will give a different results with $(this).contents().length than IE. So my question persist
