jQuery 1.1.3 fails completely in Konqueror 3.5.5 !

[frando]

Konqueror always had its problems with Javascript and jQuery. With 1.1.2, most stuff worked, though. 1.1.3 now doesn't work at all. Everything fails. I think it doesn't even get unpacked correctly.

Here's what Konqueror reports when visiting jQuery.com (in the JavaScript errors window):

Error: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.pack.js: TypeError?: Null value Error: http://static.jquery.com/files/design/js/jqbrowser2.js: TypeError?: Value undefined (result of expression jQuery.find) is not an object. Cannot be called. Error: http://static.jquery.com/files/design/js/jquery-site.js: TypeError?: Value undefined (result of expression $(document).ready) is not an object. Cannot be called.

It's not related to the packer, using the uncompressed version results in the same error.

Hello,

Compression slowness in konqueror have been fixed with Konqueror 3.5.7 but it's broken again.

Beside this I am not sure that javascript compression is realy a good idea :

Hello again,

I toke 5 minutes this morning and I changed this line

version: b.match(/.+(?:rv|it|ra|ie|la)[\/: ]([\d.]+)/)[1],

In this one

version: b.match(/.+(?:rv|it|ra|ie|ml)[\/: ]([\d.]+)/)[1],

And jQuery seems to work again on Konqueror ...

Cool! Thanks, it really seems to work. In order to explain the fix, Konqueror (on kubuntu) returns a user agent string:

mozilla/5.0 (compatible; konqueror/3.5; linux) khtml/3.5.6 (like gecko)(kubuntu)

The fix takes the version number after khtml/

Fixed in SVN.
