JQuery UI opens multiple dialogs when facing an XML header

[urskr]

Using JavaScript's XMLSerializer, I convert some XML to HTML. In Firefox, the resultant HTML is prefaced with XML metadata: When I hand this into jquery's dialog function, multiple dialogs open. The code behaves as expected in Chrome, since the XMLSerializer doesn't add the XML metadata.

var content = new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(result); <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><myXML></myXML> $(content).dialog();

As a workaround, I can remove the XML header:

var content = new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(xml); var cleanContent = content.replace(/<\?.*\?>/, "");

This is correct. If you call dialog on two nodes, you'll get two dialogs.
