Description

hi,

i have problems using jQuery.noConflict() and firefox 2.

my firefox version: pc firefox 2.0.0.20

the same with mac firefox 2.0.0.4

i'm using only the first example from

http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries

it doesn't work, the following errors occur in firebug:

Security error" code: "1000

jQuery(document).ready is not a function

best regards m

code i use below

<script src="http://www.prototypejs.org/javascripts/prototype.js"></

script>

<script src="../scripts/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>

<script>

jQuery.noConflict();

Use jQuery via jQuery(...)

jQuery(document).ready(function(){

jQuery("div").hide();

});

Use Prototype with $(...), etc.

$('someid').hide();

</script>

</head>

  • jquery-1.3.2.js (118.1 KB) - added by yc_hsu May 19, 2009 12:54PM UTC.

    Inserted new code on line 2236 and 2256 to temporarily yield $ in case getElementsByClassName is overridden by Prototype which needs its own $.

I can replicate this issue.

I merged 1.3.2 back to 1.3.1(which works fine) and the change that is causing this issue is around line 2231 of jquery-1.3.2.js. Specifically I think it is due to Firefox 2.0.0.20 crashing when div.getElementsByClassName() is called on line 2236. Perhaps this is due to getElementsByClassName() being overridden by prototype?

I was able to get around this issue by adding a try/catch block around the offending code.

try {
if ( document.getElementsByClassName && document.documentElement.getElementsByClassName ) (function(){
	var div = document.createElement("div");
	div.innerHTML = "<div class='test e'></div><div class='test'></div>";

	// Opera can't find a second classname (in 9.6)
	if ( div.getElementsByClassName("e").length === 0 )
		return;

	// Safari caches class attributes, doesn't catch changes (in 3.2)
	div.lastChild.className = "e";

	if ( div.getElementsByClassName("e").length === 1 )
		return;

	Expr.order.splice(1, 0, "CLASS");
	Expr.find.CLASS = function(match, context, isXML) {
		if ( typeof context.getElementsByClassName !== "undefined" && !isXML ) {
			return context.getElementsByClassName(match[1]);
		}
	};
})();
} catch(e) {
	// If using prototype + FF2.0 this block will fail, catching the exeception and moving on
	// as FF2.0 shouldn't natively have getElementsByClassName defined
}
