Extra div tags added to CDATA content

[topunix]

Hi,
This is a weird bug. It only occurs if the content of the CDATA tag is generated like this:

<replaceContent select='#main'>

<![CDATA[
    howdy
     ]]>

</replaceContent>

The DOM element with id "main" will now contain another div with "howdy" inside of it. This is very annoying!

How do I get rid of that extra div? I want to use CDATA because I need to. I am using it for data more complex than one word "howdy". But I don't want that extra div! Please help.
