jqLite('<div>') throws an error in an XHTML document #6917
Description
This one. There are a few in test/jqLiteSpec.js as well.
For example, the error on Chrome is Error: Failed to set the 'innerHTML' property on 'Element': The provided markup is invalid XML, and therefore cannot be inserted into an XML document.
The reason is that the implementation of jqLite tries to set innerHTML to that argument on this line div.innerHTML = '<div> </div>' + element; (where element is '<div>') and this is malformed without a closing </div> at the end.
It is trivial to test: just call jqLite('<div>') and see if it throws the above error.
I found this issue with its associated commit that seems to indicate the author knew about this problem but I suppose they didn't actually test it in XHTML.
