jQuery minified package > 1.5.2 bug

[chris@…]

Just found an issue with the minified package > 1.5.2 where trying to call a function of the jQuery or $ object caused the following error from this call.

$.post('[script]',function(d){ $('#[id]').show(); });

by changing '$('#[id]').show();' to any jQuery function the following error occurs.

i.exec is not a function (jquery-1.6.js line 16) (function(a,b){function cy(a){return f...h]&&f.event.trigger(c,d,b.handle.elem

From testing the error seems to have started with version 1.6 min.

1.5.2 min - OK, uncompressed - OK 1.6 min - Fail, uncompressed - OK 1.6.1 min - Fail, uncompressed - OK

Browser FF 3.6.18 OS Win7 64

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.

Hi,

This happens to me too. With jQuery 1.6.1 min and 1.6.2 min.

Firefox 3.6

Thanks

$('#[id]')

This type of id selector is not yet supported by jQuery.

Also, from the information I've been given from Mozilla, Firefox 3.6 is very close to End Of Life, so it doesn't make sense to write code that is tailored to a specific browser

I've posted an answer in a similar ticket: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/9805#comment:3

You probably use a global variable named "i".

"Also, from the information I've been given from Mozilla, Firefox 3.6 is very close to End Of Life, so it doesn't make sense to write code that is tailored to a specific browser"

Almost 10% of the users still use Firefox  http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser_version-ww-monthly-201108-201108-bar so it does make sense to write code that works with this browser.

Right! But not global. In the "for" loop, I've been using "i" as name for iteration variable. Changing it to (for example) "iterator" - solves the problem.

My mistake, yep it was global :(

maybe I have a global "i" or not - who cares? going to uncompressed version fixes the problem that started for me after upgrading to 1.6.2-min

each upgrade i do to jquery breaks SOMETHING for SOMEONE
