Hi, I noticed that in the nightly builds, the function jQuery.swap() is still used internally in the jQuery.css() function to get the dimensions of an element.
It hurts to see this unbelievable hack, apart from the obvious consequences: http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/5743 This function is used internally only once, and one CAN get the required attributes without using jQuery. I repeat this for clarity: This hack temporarily updates the DOM just to read an attribute. I hope that this has just been overlooked somehow. If, on the other hand, it is considered safe to do this, than a bugs should be filed against all browsers that cannot cope with it. I would like to know what the strategy is. Thanks.
