Description

OS: Ubuntu Linux 10.4
Browser: Firefox 3.6.22
jQuery: 1.6.4
================================
I just put some condition to check if function or not, error not throw anymore.

Original:
================================
} else if ( document.documentElement.compareDocumentPosition ) {

Sizzle.contains = function( a, b ) {

return !!(a.compareDocumentPosition(b) & 16);

};



Fixed:
=================================
} else if ( document.documentElement.compareDocumentPosition ) {

Sizzle.contains = function( a, b ) {

if ( a.compareDocumentPosition instanceof Function ) {

return !!(a.compareDocumentPosition(b) & 16);

}
return false;

};

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project! Please provide a complete reduced test case on jsFiddle to help us assess your ticket (along with some more information about the context of this ticket - eg. is this an isolated Sizzle issue or an issue related to something jQuery is specifically doing with Sizzle? what code resulted in the issues experienced?).

Additionally, be sure to test against the jQuery Edge version to ensure the issue still exists. To get you started, use this boilerplate: http://jsfiddle.net/FrKyN/ Open the link and click to "Fork" (in the top menu) to get started.

I am getting an error due to the issue covered here: 'compareDocumentPosition' is not a function of 'a'.

Strangely this is only happens on FireFox, not on Chrome.

Issue seems to be because params 'a' and 'b' are Arrays containing the respective nodes rather than the nodes themselves.

The root of the issue is passing jQuery objects to 'contains' instead of basic elements.

  • under Chrome/WebKit it works as it tries to call the native 'contains' function on the object (a jQuery object) and this succeeds because jQuery has a function 'contains'...
  • under FireFox it fails because it tries to call compareDocumentPosition which doesn't exist on the params object.

I assume Chrome succeeding is just an unintended side effect.
