[jQuery] jQuery's :nth-child selector doesn't work inside GreaseMonkey 0.8
Hi,
This is my first post here and I did try searching for this in the
archives. Please be gentle.
I believe jQuery's :nth-child selector doesn't work inside
GreaseMonkey 0.8.
(At the bottom is a quick GM script to test this.)
Why is this?
Is this a known limitation from working inside GreaseMonkey?
Can anyone recommend a way around this?
Also, why is it that _some_ (definitely not all) jQuery queries run
*much* slower inside GreaseMonkey, I don't have a quick benchmark test
right now, but I've noticed it often as I was building a pretty
complex GM script that relied heavily in GM, http://elzr.com/posts/backbars-on-social-link-sites.
I would run my code outside GM, in Firebug, and things would be
snappy, inside GM, the browser was brought to its knees. I know I'm
being vague but I was wondering if there are some architectural
reasons in GM or jQuery why this would be the case.
Thanks!
