[jQuery] Revision 231 cloneNode() Firefox issue
I'm experiencing some problems on a site with some apparently simple
code. It used to work with jQuery R226, but when I updated to 1.0
final (R231), it broke in Firefox (Mac) with the following error:
Error: $(e.cloneNode(true)) has no properties
Source: http://sgmvoc.optimistweb.org/sites/sgmvoc.optimistweb.org/
themes/clubhouse/scripts/jq.js
Line: 376
It works fine in Safari and possibly other browsers too.
This is in the following code from jquery-1.0.js:
jQuery.swap( e, old, function() {
if (jQuery.css(e,"display") != "none") {
oHeight = e.offsetHeight;
oWidth = e.offsetWidth;
} else {
//////////////////
e = $(e.cloneNode(true)).css({
visibility: "hidden", position: "absolute", display: "block"
}).prependTo("body")[0];
//////////////////
oHeight = e.clientHeight;
oWidth = e.clientWidth;
e.parentNode.removeChild(e);
}
});
which was last changed in revision 230->231. The problem happens when
doing a plain slideDown() from inside a .click() callback:
jQuery("a.login").click(function(){
jQuery("#header-forms > div").filter(":visible").slideUp("slow");
//////////////
jQuery("#login-box").slideDown("slow");
//////////////
...
});
in: http://sgmvoc.optimistweb.org/sites/sgmvoc.optimistweb.org/themes/
clubhouse/scripts/jq-clubhouse.js
This is pretty simple jQuery usage, and it works fine with 1.0 final
in Firefox if I extract the immediate markup and try it on a stand-
alone, unstyled .html page. It is only in combination with the other
markup on that page that it breaks. It could be a browser bug, jquery
bug or something in my markup that's messing stuff up, I'm not sure.
You can try it for yourself on:
http://sgmvoc.optimistweb.org/ (click the 'Register' or 'Member log-
in' in the header)
Has anyone got any ideas about this? Have you seen it before?
