Hover Bug

[brandon.aaron@…]

In firefox if you have a div with an input element inside of it and use the $().hover event on the div, then firefox will report an uncaught exception.

uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property HTMLDivElement.parentNode

Fixed in SVN.

In the hover method please change this line:

while ( p && p != this ) try { p = p.parentNode } catch(e) { p = null; };

to this:

while ( p && p != this ) try { p = p.parentNode } catch(e) { p = this; };

This solves a problem just brought up on the mailing list.

Here is the example page with the fix: ​http://brandonaaron.net/jquery/hoverbug/hover.patched.html and the broken version: ​http://brandonaaron.net/jquery/hoverbug/hover.html
