[jQuery] Re: $.getScript in Firefox 3

Actually, scratch that - it seems to be working now.

I'd still appreciate a comment from a jQuery guru on the original
problem I've worked around here!

Hmm, actually I think I'm still getting the problem, it's just being
quiet about it now :(

Ok, my temporary fix has been to alter the following block of code
from line 2656 in jquery 1.2.6:

// If we're requesting a remote document
// and trying to load JSON or Script with a GET
if ( s.dataType == "script" && type == "GET"){
//&& remote.test(s.url) && 
remote.exec(s.url)[1] != location.host )
{
var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
var script = document.createElement("script");

I have commented out the second part of the IF statement which tests
whether the URL is remote.  This will force all scripts to use the

I'm getting even more convinced that this is an issue with FF3 &
jQuery.  Interestingly, it only affects local JS files, which are
inserted as text into the head of the document between script tags.

Remote files, which are loaded using 

[jQuery] onClick prepend

[Mark T]

I am trying to make the on-click event of any element optional depending on
what the user decides. The only functions I see out there append a function
to the on-click event. I have played with the browser bubbling / catching
stuff too. That worked in Firefox but not in IE 7. It seems I can't access
the on-click function if it was defined within the element's onclick=""
attribute.

Here are my two approaches. Tell me if you have a better idea.

1) eval() // I guess IE doesn't like us using this. Firefox doesn't
care.

$(document).ready(function() {
var onClickAttr = $('#clickTester').attr('onclick');
$('#clickTester').removeAttr('onclick').click(function(){
if (confirm('Perform Original Action?')) {
eval(onClickAttr);
}
}
});



2) Bubbling // Again, IE problems while Firefox works just fine.

$(document).ready(function() {
var $span = $('<span></span>').attr('onclick',
$('#clickTester').attr('onclick'));
$('#clickTester').removeAttr('onclick').wrap($span);
$('#clickTester').click(function(event){
if (!confirm('Perform Original Action?')) {
event.stopPropagation();
}
});
});
