I've stumbled upon a wicked problem, which appears only in 1.3.2 (works ok in 1.3.1, 1.3.0 and 1.2.6), and only in Safari (3.2.2 on Windows) (works ok in FF2/3, IE6/7, Opera). To cut a long story short, here's the test case:
http://tmp.ahlers.com/test/safari-132.html My application employs FlexiGrid, so I've isolated the chunk of code to a bare minimum that reproduces the error. var sDiv = document.createElement('div'); sDiv.className = 'sDiv'; $(sDiv).append("<div class='sDiv2'>Quick Search <input type='text' name='q' /> <select name='qtype'><option selected='selected' value='port'>Port</option></select> <input type='button' value='Clear' /></div>"); $('#output3').append( $('input[name=q],select[name=qtype]',sDiv).map( function(){ return this.name } ).get().join(', ') ); $('#form .bDiv').after(sDiv); So, the query $('input[name=q],select[name=qtype]',sDiv) crashes jQuery 1.3.2 on the line #2118: aRange.selectNode(a); with the error "INVALID_NODE_TYPE_ERR: DOM Range Exception 2". At the same time, single-selector queries like $('input[name=q]',sDiv) don't crash. Also, the problem only happens if a context (sDiv) is an element NOT YET ADDED to DOM. Seems like quite a hypothetical situation? Nah, as I said I'm using FlexiGrid and it took me a few hours to track down the reason why my application no longer works under jQuery 1.3.2 :(
