Description
Just started following the tickets here, so sorry if this is a dupe.
I say "possible" bug because I am not sure what the specs are on this issue. Most browsers seem to load any external style sheets prior to executing the $().ready() method - however, this does not seem to be the case in Safari 3.1.1 (tested in Windows). This inconsistency was unexpected to myself, and I would assume to others as well. Needless to say, this causes problems if a script/plugin is dependent on said style sheets.
I am led to believe that the CSS is the culprit by two observations:
- Such scripts execute successfully if run after the document.onload event.
- Such scripts execute successfully if the CSS is inlined.
For a specific example, my Kwicks plugin (http://www.jeremymartin.name/examples/kwicks.php?example=1) pulls bits of information from an external style sheet, and therefore fails in Safari 3.1.1 (if executed by $().ready()).
I have only tested this with 1.2.3 and 1.2.6, which both exhibited this behavior.
Thanks for all the great work!
I don't think I have the rights to do it myself, but I suggest that this issue be removed as a non-issue.
I have more recently discovered that the script also works if the CSS is included before the JS. My assumption now is that Safari 3.1.1 simply applies/runs the CSS/JS in the order that it is referenced, whereas other browsers *appear* to always apply the CSS first. I couldn't find any documentation regarding the "correct" approach, so I would not consider this to be a bug on the part of jQuery or Safari at this point.
I am still curious what would be considered "expected" browser behavior here, but that would be a discussion for a different venue. Thanks again!
