JQuery fails to execute search in pages containing applets.

[cesare]

When a given page contains an applet, $(query) fails when it traverses the applet node. Probably because it is a special node which does not have the same properties that common HTML nodes. In JQuery 1.1.4 this can be avoided just ignoring tag named "applet" in search routines. The patch in question looks like:

---

isXMLDoc: function(elem) {

if (elem.tagName && elem.tagName.toLowerCase() == 'applet') return false; // hernan rancati -- patch

return elem.documentElement && !elem.body

elem.tagName && elem.ownerDocument && !elem.ownerDocument.body;

}

thanks, and have a good day,

Hernan Rancati.

jquery 1.2.1 patched to work with applets.

test page to reproduce the bug.

in order to reproduce the bug , have to put a working applet in the same directory where html test page is located (eg. excelsos-upload.jar). The file is missing here due to file size limitation.

I don't quite get the:

$("[xBindRows][xCloned]").html()

I just closed another ticket about applets, it turned to be already fixed now.

Could you retry this ?

I'll close for now, reopen if you still find this issue.

Error: undefined is not a function Line 1166. The error occured on a page containing object tags for applets, using jQuery version 1.2.6.

Additional info: Error only happened on Firefox 2, but not on Firefox 3, IE6/7.

Hi, don't reopen the ticket if it has nearly no relation to your problem, you can create a new one instead.

You need to give us more details so we can check this out. Can you provide a test case ? that is, a small html file with the minimum html/css/js necessary to reproduce the problem.

Hi, I thought it may be related, since the problem is because there is an applet embedded on the page. I've attached a zip file containing a test html, jQuery 1.2.6, and a sample applet. With this applet the error that I got was

Error: Java class AudioPlayerApplet has no public field or method named "jQuery1216045419515" Line: 666

The error is not the same as what I've mentioned in my previous post, because for some reason there is no such undefined error if I'm using the attached applet.
