It's not a selector. Where did you come across that? The "< >" makes it think you want to create an element. It does nothing more than creating a textNode that contains the string "<%=x.y %>" (and a temporary DIV to hold it).
This $('< >') does the same. The '#' is ignored just as if you used $ ('#<div/>') - that simply creates a DIV. cheers, - ricardo On Mar 13, 3:44 pm, rayglaser <raymond.gla...@qpaynet.com> wrote: > This form of a selector is undocumented.. > > ('#<%=x.y%>').length > > What does it mean ? > > Thanks..
