Description
Affects all versions of jQuery 1.8 in Firefox 16 (at least)
This is kind of an obscure bug and it's kind of hard to explain, but real easy to fix.
Here's a reduced, annotated demo: http://jsfiddle.net/qT4Tg/
with a proposed fix (patch) attached in a comment.

It occurred to me that the same happens if body
or html
are set to display:none;
... so that might require a second check before css_defaultDisplay
caches the result.
Here's a quick patch for jQuery 1.8.3 showing how this can be accomplished:
7005,7011c7005,7015 < iframe = document.body.appendChild( < iframe || jQuery.extend( document.createElement("iframe"), { < frameBorder: 0, < width: 0, < height: 0 < }) < ); --- > if ( !iframe ) > { > iframe = document.createElement("iframe"); > iframe.frameBorder = 0; > iframe.width = 0; > iframe.height = 0; > // Hidden iframes always rport display as 'none' in Firefox 17 > // Note: Hidden body might still result in a hidden iframe > iframe.style.cssText += "display: block !important;"; > } > document.body.appendChild( iframe ); 7028,7029c7032,7042 < // Store the correct default display < elemdisplay[ nodeName ] = display; --- > if ( display === "none" && curCSS( document.body, "display" ) === "none" ) > { > // document.body won't hide forever, > // so let's go for "block" for now, and not cache the result. > display = "block"; > } > else > { > // Store the correct default display > elemdisplay[ nodeName ] = display; > }

How does this differ from the parent-hidden case, which we also do not handle? These are relatively expensive operations so it is better to have the user write code that doesn't expect us to do these things under the covers.

1. This is a clear regression in 1.8
2. It works perfectly in all browsers except Firefox.
3. Simply setting iframe
to display:none;
triggers this - even though the iframe is not the affected element's parent.
4. And even for the body
hidden case - which is strictly speaking "parent-hidden" case - it still differs because it causes all future attempts to .show() the affected elements to fail - even after the body
/html
have been made visible.
...
Regarding the added operational expense, is not as great as you may think:
In iframe-hidden case we need to add a **single** operation iframe.style.cssText += "display: block !important;";
which is probably offset by changing from jQuery.extend()
to direct property assignments.
In the body hidden case there's one extra curCSS(document.body,"display")
invocation - that only happens in the highly unusual case when display==='none'
.
Someone more clever than me might even come up with an even faster method for that...

Good points on the bug and impact, broken-forever is not good. Can you put together a pull request?

I'm curious about what lead to this "regression".

This behaviour exists as far back as 1.6.4 (what happened to all of our older versions on jsfiddle?)
1.6.4 http://jsfiddle.net/rwaldron/7htPw/
1.7.2 http://jsfiddle.net/rwaldron/K69P7/
The reason we use an iframe with height: 0, width: 0 and frameborder: 0 is because Firefox doesn't have "presentation" for an iframe with display: none.
I've adapted your solution to a more suitable patch that includes tests. The only change that's necessary to fix this issue is the addition of iframe.style.cssText = "display: block !important";
after the iframe is created. You can either update your patch or I can merge mine.
