<html>
<body>
	<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
	
	<script type="text/javascript">
		$(document).ready(function (){

				$("#hInput");
				alert("ok");
			}catch(e){
				alert("error");
			}
		});

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing a bug report.

After checking your report I made a live test case with the latest jQuery (1.4.4) and tested with Opera 10.63 and Opera 9.64. I couldn't reproduce what you reported, as both browsers show the "ok" alert.

You didn't mention which jQuery version you used, so there isn't much I can do to further evaluate this issue. Also consider that Opera 9.23 is an old browser (old as in older then 3 years) and isn't even the latest of the 9.x branch.

Considering all this I'm closing this ticket as invalid, feel free to report back if this issue persists for you with the latest version of jQuery.

The next time please provide a link to a test case on http://jsfiddle.net instead of pasting the code in the ticket. Doing that enables us to verify your bug report more quickly.\\\\

Thanks for your investigation, affected jQuery version is 1.4.4. I understand that it's unable to resolve unwanted behaviour in all old versions of all supported browsers.

So I guess, it is better to claim that supported is Opera 9.x and 10.x (latest version) not Opera 9+ (from page http://docs.jquery.com/Browser_Compatibility )

Thanks for the additional feedback. That page needs an update anyway, your report is a good reminder to do that.
