colon normalization of element directives for v1.4.7
Hi. Thanks a lot for your effort !
I am evaluating the 1.4.7 build for our project and I came across this issue.
If you have an element directive named 'myDirective', you cannot use it from html with "my:directive". The other normalized names work: "my-directive", and "my_directive".
Doc reference: https://code.angularjs.org/1.4.7/docs/guide/directive#normalization
PS: I came across another issue as well, but I will investigate it separately. It's probably a documentation issue for you. It seems that the "jQuery 1.x" is not enough. We were using 1.7.x and it wasn't working. I then only tried with the version you have in your example (1.11.1) and it works fine.
As far as I remember the colon syntax never work well with IE for any version of angular. https://code.angularjs.org/1.2.29/docs/guide/ie
I'll update readme to suggest using latest v1 jQuery.
It does. Quote from the docs:
If the tag name starts with my: prefix then it is considered an XML namespace and must have corresponding namespace declaration on <html xmlns:my="ignored">
Which is what we had done, and it's working fine.
Otherwise you'd have to add a document.createElement('my-element'); for every element directive...
Which is a worse option in my opinion. The xmlns ignore approach is more universal.
