'change' event doesn't fired in some browsers when it bubles

[alekole@…]

Browsers: Opera 11 and earlier, old Firefox

when attaching 'change' event on parent of input fields with 'on()' function, it doesn't fires

See the testcase ​http://jsfiddle.net/alekole/Je7Kq/

in version 1.8 it works

According to:
​http://jquery.com/browser-support/[[BR]] old Firefox & Opera versions are not supported. What's old today could have been new when jQuery 1.8 came out so it was supported back then.

Nearly no one uses old Opera & Firefox versions anyway so why pay attention to them?

So, according to browser support, 11 Opera declared as supported (12 - current version)

That's not how we treat Opera versions. We read an Opera version as x.yz Where x.y is a major version. So 12.1x is current and 12.0x is current - 1.

Safari is handled in a similar fashion.

I think we should take a look and know the problem regardless.

I tried both Fiddles ​http://jsfiddle.net/alekole/Je7Kq/ and ​http://jsfiddle.net/amercier/c6z3s/ with all Firefox versions (thanks to Utilu MFC) and here are the results:

• Firefox <= 8 failing
• Firefox 9+ passing

According to ​http://jquery.com/browser-support/ only Firefox < 10ESR are not supported anymore but you should consider fixing this as some companies may still be running old versions of Firefox, such as 3.6.

Best regards.

Firefox 3.6 is long EOL'd and it doesn't even work with jQuery 2.0, I doubt we want to care about it. If a company wants to use a long obsolete and insecure browser, they can use an old jQuery version IMO.

By HTML5-specification, some IDL attributes should be initialized right away – ​http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/webappapis.html#event-handlers-on-elements,-document-objects,-and-window-objects

In old Firefox and in old Opera this doesn't happen, which affects on the support module, giving us:

jQuery.support.changeBubbles === false

As has already been said, we do not support these browsers, so i'm closing this ticket.
