jQuery.queue dies when running simple effects on object elements

[khiltd]

Given an element as such:

<object id="spinner" data="/images/spinner.svg" type="image/svg+xml"></object>

Attempting something like a simple fade out like so:

jQuery("#spinner").fadeOut();

will cause jQuery to die at line 1177 as the local variable "queue" will come back undefined from the previous assignment attempt.

The general problem is that object tags cannot be used with jQuery.data(), which the animation calls internally. It could be wrapped in a div and that could be faded. I'll leave this ticket open as a todo for the documentation.

Adding a reminder for us to update the documentation regarding this particular ticket.

I believe that I remember seeing a patch go in for objects where .data() could be used recently but this may have been limited to just Flash use of the object tag and not necessarily expanded to SVG.

Leaving open for a further review.

I've made a note for us to update the documentation on this particular ticket to clearly state how object tags should ideally be used in conjunction with animation calls. This type of example (SVG object being faded out) will indeed crash jQuery and it is recommended that as dmethvin previously stated, one wraps the object inside a div instead of directly applying the animation to a selector pointing at the object. Closing and filing in doc updates.
