[jQuery] Re: Something changed from 1.2.2 to 1.3.2 with hashes
Well, in 1.3.2 it now throws an exception, since the CSS selector # is invalid. If you wish to use that precise technique I'd wrap a try/catch around the jQuery statement to catch the error. --John On Wed, May 20, 2009 at 8:22 AM, madmax019 maxi.karr...@googlemail.comwrote: Hi everyone, I have the following problem with the latest jQuery version. Thanks already to anyone wanting to help me. With jQuery 1.2.2 I could get a targets hash like this: var $target = $(this.hash); Sometimes, people use just href=# to get to the top of page and not href=#header (or similar). Hence, if it was just a #, I considered it to have an undefined target. Now to check whether the hash is undefined or not, I used the following: var $defined = $target.length; Now if the hash was undefined, I would get a zero. If it was defined, I would get a 1. Then with a simple if statement I was able to sort through the stuff... Apparently with jQuery 1.3.2 this is no longer possible? Anyone know why and possibly know a fix to this? Thanks Max
