Doesn't find smileys in the beginning of sentence

[luiscruz]

When I have the following structure:

  <div class='message'>
    <p>:)</p> 
  </div>

And I execute:

  $('.message').emoticonize();

It doesn't recognize the smiley.

To fix it, i have to add a space in the beginning of sentence:

  <div class='message'>
    <p> :)</p> 
  </div>

OR execute:

$('.message p').emoticonize();

Thanks,
Luis

It sounds like your issue may be due to line 65. If you read the comment above that line, you'll see what that line is doing. I included in that comment how your issue should theoretically be solved, but apparently I couldn't get it to work properly. I don't remember what the issue was to be honest, because it was a while ago.
