bug in "inArray"

[anas1305@…]

this function "$.inArray" does not work properly in IE, it returns "undefined" instead of "-1". to correct, you just need to put "Array.indexOf" instead of "array.indexOf" that's all.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project! Please provide a reduced test case on  http://jsFiddle.net that reproduces the issue experienced to help us assess your ticket!

Additionally, test against the jQuery (edge) version to ensure the issue still exists.

There is no occurrence of "array.indexOf" in the entire jQuery code base.

Replying to rwaldron:

There is no occurrence of "array.indexOf" in the entire jQuery code base.

you can find this in lines 677 & 678. And below the code snippet found in jquery version 1.5.2:

inArray: function( elem, array ) {
	if ( array.indexOf ) {
		return array.indexOf( elem );
	}

	for ( var i = 0, length = array.length; i < length; i++ ) {
		if ( array[ i ] === elem ) {
			return i;
		}
	}

	return -1;
},

Your correction would not fix the problem. As long as array is an Array, and indexOf is supported, it will be used and it returns -1 if elem is not present in the array. I have verified that inArray is working correctly:  http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/62tF9/. So we still need a test case showing where inArray returns undefined.

As you can see, in the _most recent_ version of the source, there is no "array.indexOf":

 https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/core.js#L665-677

Additionally, your recommendation to change this to Array.indexOf is wrong - there is no static "indexOf" method on the Array object.
