JQuery doesn't play nice with scriptaculous v1.7.1_beta3

[ben]

I came across this because I inject jQuery into websites from an extension. jQuery's makeArray function uses array detection logic that is incompatible with a particular version of scriptaculous, because it assumes anything that has a "call" method isn't an array. This particular version of scriptaculous of course adds a function "call" to Array.prototype. This patch does more accurate array detection.

Fix for jquery 1.2.6

No, that's not a valid fix. FF reports RegExps as functions, and Safari does the same for nodelists.

This was already addressed, and we'll try to patch this effectively for 1.3.

I did some research... Scriptaculous 1.8.x plays well with jQuery. So you can just update your scriptaculous instead.

Please consider re-opening this ticket. As I said before, I inject jQuery into websites so I don't really get a choice as to what version of scriptaculous somebody uses. There might be several other applications for injecting jQuery into arbitrary websites: bookmarklets come to mind. I also could imagine someone's personal Javascript code adding a function named "call" to Array's prototype, and wondering why $("some_tag") returns an array of an array of elements.

I'm sure we could come up with slightly better logic that could fix my problem--for instance, checking typeof and looking for the call function. Thanks.

This has been taken into account in the end. Fixed at [5825].
