Description

Hi there, my name is Rob Wright, working for a large financial organisation implementing jQuery in one of our applications.

It appears that under certain circumstances the show() function fails, certainly under Safari 3.1.1, and I've had to resort to using css('display', 'block') in order to display the matched elements.

I have not isolated it into a test case as yet, but you can see the issue here on one of our sites. We have a non-Ajax version of the form and an Ajax version that is set up upon page load, and as part of that function we're having to show and hide some elements using the CSS function because the show() is inoperable.

A quick Google search suggests others have had similar problems but have not submitted a ticket, according to John.

Many thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.

Of note - if the element is initially hidden with inline styling, the bug doesn't occur. If it's hidden in an external stylesheet, the bug is triggered. See test case.

I'm also having this issue. For now I'm using .css('display', 'none') and .css('display', 'block') to get around it.

I'm having the same issue, and can perhaps provide a bit more context:

To me it consistently and reproducibly happens on an element that has been removed by calling the remove function on it, but saved as a javascript variable:

See live page at:

Hit search, the search results provide a tooltip (on hovering) in which certain elements refuse to be hidden in Safari.

Compare with firefox or Internet Explorer to see that in those browsers the same elements are hidden.
