Permission denied to access property 'nodeType'

[Rudi Feijo <rudibr@…>]

Problem with jquery 1.4.2 with FF4

The offending line 84 on jquery-1.4.2.js :

if ( selector.nodeType ) {

My code wich resulted in the error :

if(window.opener) {

var target_window = window.opener;

} else {

var target_window = window;

}

changing the href here caused the crash :

$(target_window.location).attr('href', data.projectURL);

workaround was manual js : target_window.location.href =

data.projectURL;

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing a bug report but there simply isn't enough information included in this report to understand what is going on.

We require that all bug reports include a valid reduced test case, which reproduces the issue you are experiencing, on  http://jsfiddle.net. This enables us to more easily investigate this issue further.

So please report back with more information and a reproducible test case and we will be more than happy to further investigate this issue.

This may very well be a duplicate of #7500

Your workaround isn't a workaround, it's the way you *should* be setting a property on a Javascript object. There is no reason to use jQuery to do this, it just takes a lot longer and doesn't always work -- because it's not designed to work.

Handle everything which isn't a DOM element node

[rwaldron]

I'm not sure what you're referring to "Handle everything which isn't a DOM element node", although it sounds like something that might've been a comment in the source at one time.

Regardless, this ticket reports on out-of-date version of jQuery against a case that jQuery doesn't claim to support.
