firefox: color values on tags inside a frame are #00000 unless css is inline

[jq_johan]

I have a page with an iframe. I am accessing some tags inside the frame but their color values are 0, on firefox.

$("iframe").contents().find("div"); getting the elements ..... $(val).css("color"); getting their color values .....

I cant sleep so I did some research on that issue (and fixed it). It seems that the first line of jQuery.curCSS function that is

var style = elem.style;

returns the style of an element that matches in the document context or no style at all. So far, so good. Now the function enteres the

if ( defaultView.getComputedStyle )

and begins doing its magic, and no there is the clue: defaultView was set to document.defaultView, so that's the crux of the matter.

Because I have no permission for uploading something to svn here is the change, that you have to do, in order to fix this bug:

there is a line

defaultView = document.defaultView

{},

can be deleted and in curCSS you need to add the following line to the var definitions:

defaultView = elem.ownerDocument.defaultView;

Should work now. Hopefully I could help then my sleeplessness wasn't in vain.

Thanks a lot! It really works on firefox. Unfortunately IE6-7 don't like this fix (as usual :) ). However I think this was a good step towards fixing it completely.

There's no test case, but the internal code uses elem.ownerDocument.defaultView now so it should be fixed.
