jQuery(document).ready() Type error on WebKit based Browsers


(cross-posted on the users' group... hope this is the correct forum)
My site works fine on Firefox and IE, but on Webkit-based browsers,
any call to jQuery(function() {}) results in this error on line 83 of
jquery-1.3.2.js --
TypeError: Result of expression 'jQuery( document ).ready' [undefined]
is not a function
Basically, the jQuery.fn object is not getting extended with ready,
hover, etc.... I have isolated the actual crash to line 2238 of
jquery-1.3.2.js.
if ( div.getElementsByClassName("e").length === 0 )
return;
I threw a try/catch block around the code and receive this exception -
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: DOM Exception 9
I am currently running Safari Version 4 Public Beta (5528.16), but
apparently this bug is occurring in v3 as well (and of course,
Chrome).
By ignoring exceptions generated from the above, and the equivalent
line 2 statements later, my page loads and everything executes
perfectly.
