jQuery 1.4.x and the @ symbol

Question

I used to use this script for jquery email obfuscation:

    $(\".replaceAt\").replaceWith(\"@\");
  $(\".obfuscate\").each(function () {
        $(this).attr(\"h         


        

Answer 1

So I dug around in the jQuery release notes, and it might be related to this bug which was fixed in the 1.4.2 release. At any rate, I can verify that your script works great in 1.4.2. Hope this helps.

Edit:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(".replaceAt").replaceWith("@");
  $(".obfuscate").each(function () {
    $(this).attr("href", "mailto:"+$(this).text());
   });
});
