focus(), blur(), and submit() no longer working in 1.4

[ixpleo]

When testing 1.4a1 in a live application (dev version is running 1.3.2), focus(), blur(), and submit() no longer work.

I created a barebones, test html file to verify. There is a form with a hidden input in the body, and these were the tests:

using document.getElementById().[focus|blur|submit]() works just fine, but not $("#inputIDHere").[focus|blur|submit]()

I haven't tested other events to verify whether or not they are working - just blur(), focus(), and submit()

Please reopen and attach or link to your test file. Thanks!

Test File Showing focus(), blur(), and submit() bug

[ixpleo]

Reopened and attached test file showing jQuery bug for focus(), blur(), and submit()

Also found a blog post online using 1.4a1 that documents the same problem with blur in 1.4a1:

Here is the relevant portion of his post:

Reset and focus the first input element. NOTE: There appears to be a bug here where jQuery cannot use its own FOCUS method. I had to get the raw NODE to do that. newForm.find( ":text" )

.val( "" )

.get( 0 ).focus()

;

From the test case, it looks like this still works for IE but not Firefox, Opera, or Safari.

This patch fixes the issue for me, but I don't know what side effects might be. I have not run the test suite against this patch.

Attached a potential fix.

Ignore my fix. This appears to be working in 1.4a2.

I've tested the attached test case with 1.4a2 and can confirm this bug has been fixed (as adamlogic mentioned).
