jquery attempts (improperly) to get ownerDocument of window.document

[anian6@…]

I ran into this error when my code (accidentally) attempted initializing a jquery ui 1.8.6 autocomplete field from one Document to another, e.g.:

window.frames[frameName].func_that_initializes_autocomplete

I run across this error:

elem.ownerDocument is null at jquery-1.4.4.js:5481

After closer inspection, 'elem' within the code at 5481 references a Document, which of course has no owner Document. The Document referenced is the one that _instigated_ the function call, not the Document _containing_ the function call. I realize that this might be next to impossible to reproduce, but I thought I'd mention it in case it could be helpful.

jquery-1.4.4.js:5481

if ( !(defaultView = elem.ownerDocument.defaultView) ) {

return undefined;

}

EDIT: The Document referenced is the Document containing func_that_initializes_autocomplete, not the instigating Document like I said before.

Can you put together a simple test case? However, from your description so far it sounds like this was due to a programming error in calling jQuery.
