This isn't a problem as such, just something I'm curious about. Under IE7 I've found that when I use xpath, the length() method doesn't seem to work, but size() does.
E.g. $( '//[EMAIL PROTECTED] "indexL2"]//a').length(); doesn't seem to work, but $ ( '//[EMAIL PROTECTED] "indexL2"]//a').size(); does. I was just wondering why that is? Is it something to do with the fact that the xpath has to be converted to regular DOM getters for IE in the jquery code?
