[jQuery] Re: jQuery project works fine in IE6, but bombs in FF2

[John Resig]

Try changing this line:

$(this.children).show();

to:

$(this).children().show();

The first uses a property that's not available in Firefox - whereas
the second uses a jQuery method that works in all browsers.

 My first jQuery project has me puzzled.  I have a page

 any of the menu headers is clicked in Firefox.  In IE6 the drop-down
 works
 perfectly, but FF2 doesn't work and puts an error in the log.
 Specifically it says:

 Error: [Exception... Could not convert JavaScript argument
 nsresult: 0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)  location: JS
 frame :: http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.2.6.js ::
 anonymous :: line 871  data: no]
 Source File: http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.2.6.js
 Line: 871

 I am relatively new to javascript and brand new to jQuery so this
 information doesn't help me much.  Is this a bug?  Or is my coding
 simply bad?  My html and css both validate at W3C.

 If this is the wrong forum/list/group I apologize -- please direct me
 to the proper place.

 Thanks,

 Larry Ludwick

Absolutely perfect.  Thank you very much for your kind help.

It works fine in both browsers now.
