jQuery Forum

Nice work as always, I just wish Ariel's new event class made it into
this beta.

will sure do right now, as i'm about to release another
experiment-in-webdesign, end of january, and will need the best
javascript library to support it. Thanks a lot !

John & team - awesome work!
The jQuery Bug Tracker is down, so I thought I'd post and issue I
found with the attribute selectors.
I have the following input element:
<input id="new:-CA_06055_NAPA_200811.txt" name="fileName" value="" />
Using a standard selector, I need to escape the ":" and the "." :
$("#new\\:-CA_06055_NAPA_200811\\.txt")
The above works in both 1.2.6 and 1.3b1. However, the following works
in 1.2.6, but not in 1.3b1:
$("input[id=new:-CA_06055_NAPA_200811.txt]");
No amount of escaping seems to get it working in 1.3b1. I posted an
example:

Great!!!

@john & the team: congratulation on your hard work.
i just threw the beta instead of the 1.2.6 and it seems i'm
rediscovering my interface: much snappier effects, more fluid
animations.
I found 2 bugs related to selectors. the bug tracker seems to be down,
so here they are, sorry if that's inconvenient.
I haven't done test cases for them as i'm lacking time but if u need
it, let me know, i'll take it on my sleep :).
1//
my css styleswitcher does not work anymore. Apparently, the selector
engine is the culprit:
the code
function switchStylesheet(styleName)
{
// STYLESHEET SWITCHER
$('link[rel*=style][@title]').each(function(i)
{
this.disabled = true;
if (this.getAttribute('title') == styleName)
{
this.disabled = false;
}
});
}
the error message (coming from firefox error console, firebug does not
catch this one):
Erreur : [Exception... "'Syntax error, unrecognized expression:
[@title]' when calling method: [nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]"
nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location:
"<unknown>" data: no]
2// another selector issue:
var $allItems = $('div.ds-item', datascape.el);
(...)
$('*', $allItems).not('p, a,form').show();
triggers this error in firebug:
Error:
match[3] is undefined
http://localhost/dev/_js/jquery-1.3b1.js
Line 1812
that's it . Of course, all this worked in 1.2.6
have a nice one !

Will it be in later versions ?

Hi,
It looks like Alexandre is using my ancient (May 2006!) stylesheet
switcher:
http://www.kelvinluck.com/2006/05/switch-stylesheets-with-jquery/
I've just updated the example to link to jQuery 1.2.6 and the code to use
[title] rather than [@title],
Thanks,
Kelvin :)

i've been working on this project for like 2 years now, it's grown so
huge and i've learned so much in the process, that i could probably
just start it all over again, so much of this code is outdated. Thanks
for the pointer :)

@Mike and Weepy
I'll make sure it goes into the next release.
I'm swamped with work but hope to be ok soon.
Same goes for the big modifications to the queuing system.
Thanks :)
