Hey,

I've been working on an application that I thought I'd just test in Opera - haven't run it in awhile.

Well... Lo and behold... Opera and jQuery don't seem to act nice together.

I've found a number of references to problems by Googling and recriminations fly on
both sides. Opera lovers say jQuery is bastard code; jQuery advocates say Opera is broken.

Just wondering if anyone else has had problems with jQuery and Opera.

In this particular application, I'm using a combination of jQuery and straight x-browser JavaScript code.

I use the jQuery to do some "on page" validation and the straight long-hand JavaScript for some Ajax.

The (long-hand) Ajax works, but the (jQuery) validation code fails.

Interestingly, the jQuery code I use to hook events on document ready [ i.e. $(document).ready(function() ],
does what its supposed to do. Since I'm unfamiliar with Opera's dev tools (they don't see to be a good as firebug's),
I haven't delved too deeply into what's going on (albeit Opera's debugger and dev tools seem straight forward).

Fortunately, this isn't a big problem as there is validation at the server that picks up the slack.

As stated, I'm just curious about the experiences others have had with jQuery and Opera.

Thanks.

I use Opera on a daily base for about 2 years now, but I haven't noticed any jQuery problems that only occur in this browser (I use Forefox a lot as well).

I'm probably not compensating for something.
I'll need to debug in FF and determine what Opera might not like about the code.
It's a low priority.

Thanks for the response anyway...
