jsqury.min.js produces loads of errors if you switch on 'js warnings' in console Topic is solved

Which makes it a little difficult to see what I've done stupid

The main cause for complain appears to be this:

Code: Select all

SyntaxError: test for equality (==) mistyped as assignment (=)?

occurring in loads of different places

jQuery is a pretty solid library and should not produce those errors. Maybe you are using a modified version of the library or the errors are coming from a different script. In any case I doubt if this is an issue with the browser. Here only you can yourself.

Not a browser bug.

Oh, sorry, I mmisread he message. it actually says 'forums.palemoon.com/assets'. I thought it was pointing to an internal asset.

Um - that would imply the jquery is coming from here?

[Moonchild]

Yes, the forum uses jquery for some of its functions.

[thosrtanner]

So is there a newer version? or is this something that should be raised with jquery developers?

[Moonchild]

JQuery uses a lot of "guess" code to probe for browser support. Likely this is by design.

Contacting the JQuery devs will likely fall on deaf ears because they officially only support "version current and current-1 of mainstream browsers".
In retrospect, it's likely the JQuery people who have forced many thousands of websites to "drop support for any browsers but current and current-1 of mainstream browsers" by using JQuery. So yeah, you can blame them for a lot of discrimination going on right now.
