hi all,
i’m doing this in ffx2 and firebug1.05; i have a local document loaded, go to the firebug console, and write $log( $Q( 'div' ).hasClass( '' ) ); $log( '###' ) to which firebug responds with true ### thereby showing bot commands did execute. now i repeat the experiment, but with $log( $Q( 'div' ).hasClass( '.x' ) ); $log( '###' ) the argument to `hasClass` is problematic: it uses selector-syntax and starts with a dot. this is a mistake that easily results from copy-n- pasting code. acceptable reactions of jQuery to this would be responding with something like `null`, `undefined`, or `false`, or raising an exception for having been passed a bogus argument. instead what happens: NOTHING. NADA. firebug displays RIEN de tout. this bit me when i wrote a suite of several method calls, one of which included dotted class name---the code would run to a certain point, then simply VANISH like being swallowed by a black hole. firebug breakpoints etc. haven’t helped me so far. i’m not even sure how to simulate this behavior using only javascript---can’t be an early return statement, as then the `###`es in the above example would still print out. javascript execution just stops silently in some dark dead end. any ideas, anyone? cheers & ~flow
