vendorPropName (used by jQuery.css) crashes when used on a namespaced element

Description
I'm using jQuery in conjuction with webODF, which involves working with namespaced elements. jQuery.css() crashes due to the style element being undefined.
If I manually create a non-namespaced element, jQuery.css() works as expected.

Not a recent breakage as far as I'm aware.
Apart from this crash, all other operations I'm using are working correctly. If I put in the necessary "if(!style) return name;" in the vendorPropName method it appears to work for my needs.

I have confirmed this behaviour is identical in the most recent versions of Chrome and Firefox. Not sure if that is useful for you to know or not however.

@dmethvin, we should add namespaced elements to the won't fix list along with VML,SVG, and XML.
philip.peitsch@gmail.com, thanks for contributing, but unfortunately, this isn't something we're going to fix considering it's edge-casiness and the fact that jQuery isn't intended to work on these elements as they aren't part of HTML.

Has this been fixed, I am getting same issue on this code
if (ts != top) {
$('#site').contents().animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow');
}
if (ls != left) {
$('#site').contents().animate({ scrollLeft: 50 }, 'slow');
}

@rizwanh, the discussion above your post should answer the question. If not, ask for help on a forum.
jQuery hasn't ever worked with namespaces. Many web APIs such as
querySelectorAlldon't support namespaces. Is this something that broke recently?
