jQuery adapter and jQuery 1.4 compatibility

[Tobiasz Cudnik]

As reported in ​blog post comment, there is an unknown issue with jQuery adapter and jQuery 1.4 when included from same server.

Although adapter seems to work well with jQuery 1.4.1 included directly from ​googleapis.

Instead of :

	var jQuery = window.jQuery;

Maybe try :

var jQuery = window.jQuery.noConflict();

​http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries

Also, anonymous calls to jQuery now return nothing in 1.4 :

jQuery().ajaxStop(function(){
    
    // some code

    });

Whereas that kind of thing used to work, you must now use document exclusively like this :

jQuery(document).ajaxStop(function(){
    
    // some code

    });

The only exception is :

    jQuery(function() { 

    // some code

    });

Which will always work.

There is the jQuery compatibility library to point people with jQuery 1.4 to and that might make the connector work until you fix the connector to work with 1.4.x.

One last gotcha is that the jQuery team have switched to closure, so you might want to investigate CKEditor doing the same to increase compatibility and reduce the risk of bugs. (Just don't use closure's advanced mode. It's a nightmare.)

After some tests with various sources of jQuery 1.4.2 (local, code.jquery.com, minified, source) all of them worked fine.

If someone is able to reproduce this issue please post steps required to do that.
