Hi all.
There has been some recent posts on this mailing list about a bug in
Firefox related to jQuery`s `hover` functionality. (Subjects "Uncaught
exception (Autocomplete / jQuery 1.0.1)", "bug: hover over table cells
containing form elements" and "Input text hover error".)
Theoretically, this bug was resolved in Rev 375. Unfortunately, the
solution doesn't work quite well :(
Let me describe the situation:
HTML:
<div id="test">
<form ...>
<input type="text" ... />
</form>
</div>
CSS:
#test {
background: black;
padding: 20px; /* make it obvious */
}
#test.over {
background: #ccc;
}
JS:
$(function() {
$("#test").hover(
function() { $(this).addClass("over"); },
function() { $(this).removeClass("over"); },
);
});
Trouble is, in svn versions previous to Rev 375, Mozilla based
browsers raise an exception while abandoning the `input` (this is a
Mozilla bug [1]). I can live with that as it doesn't break my code.
Since Rev 375, there is a new code to handle exceptions (in events.js):
while ( p && p != this ) try { p = p.parentNode } catch(e) { p = null; };
Well, now the exception is catched. Good. But the `mouseover` function
is called when the mouse hovers the input. This _breaks_ my code.
So, could we have a better workaround? I've tried with no success :(
