Inspector DOM Tree curruption.

[Spown]

I don't know why or how, but when FireQuery is enabled some elements in the DOM tree can't be unfolded or rather they appear empty when unfolded despite having inner html. The common thing about these elements is they all are being processed with JQ. I've noticed that it sometimes works correctly on the first page inspection in a session but after a page reload the problem persists.

Disabling the extension removes the issue. I know its only a beta, but its a pretty major flaw.

Thank you for the report, we will have a look into it.

Could you provide us with more details like what version of Firefox and Operating System you using? If possible do you have a site or demo we could use to replicate the fault?

[Spown]

this page is using JQ 1.10.2 and JQ.ui 1.10.4

[aliuk2012]

Thanks for that extra info but we still need to know what version of Firefox and Operating System you are using. I've tried on a Mac OS, Firefox Nightly and it works fine. Depending on the version of firefox you are using it might be a backwards compatibility issue which we should be able to resolve if we can replicated it.

I've updated FF to 39 and it got even worse - not even the outer tag is visible:

This sounds like a blocker indeed!

Can you please provide detailed instructions how to reproduce the problem?
What URL should we load and what element within that page should we observe?

Thanks!

I did some changes, it isn't finished, but do you already see some improvements in the behavior?

Honza

[Spown]

Yes, looks like it helped. Thanks!

[Spown]

now I get TypeError: elem.dispatchEvent is not a function firequery-actor.js line 297 > eval:59:6
I guess it could be a new issue but since firequery-actor.js is one of the files you fixed for this ticket - it could be related.

Unfortunately I can't demonstrate this behavior live because it occurs in the Drupal control panel overlay and it would require giving you access to the admin area...

[janodvarko]

@Spown: I have done quite a lot of changes and I'd be interested whether it helps.

I also loaded your page, search for bc_span_titles and saw jQuery data associated with it.
Btw. I don't see any data associated with .bc_outer_wrapper

Can you please retest?

Also, what are the steps to see the elem.dispatchEvent is not a function

This is the very last xpi release (originally for #25), but it could also fix this bug
http://softwareishard.com/temp/firequery/firequery-2.0.0-beta.4.issue25.xpi

If you have time, can you check it out and let me know if it fixes your problem?

Thanks
