OK. Need JQuery Expert Here

Ok, so here is the situation. It seems that the version of JQuery that is used with Dolphin 7.0.4 (which is version v 1.3.2) doesn't seem to want to play well with Internet Explorer 8, especially when it comes to java applets. I found this out using one of my mods.

JQuery (version 1.4.3 - current) resolves these issues with IE 8. So, I decided to replace the plugins/jquery/jquery.js with the newest version. Low and behold it did fix my problem. But unfortunately I found another. Seems my simple messenger does not want to update the new messages sent to members without reloading the whole page.

In troubleshooting, I replace the jquery.js with the original one, and the simple messenger works fine. Now so far I didnt see any other issues using the newest JQuery except for the simple messenger. So here is what I need to know.

I would like to have the 2 separate version of JQuery available on the site (example jquery.js (newest)  and jquery1.js (older version)

How can I tell a specific module, such as the simple messenger to use jquery1.js instead of jquery.js?

BTW, I wasn't the only one who has had this issue. There is a ticket for it at JQuery. The resolution is to upgrade to the newest version.

http://dev.jquery.it/ticket/6536

Actually if someone who understands JQuery enough from that ticket I posted below to update Dolphin's jquery.js then by all means, I will just download a changeset :)

I would attempt this myself but when comparing the current jquery.js to the new version, there is a bajillion different changes.

interesting it works fine for me on i.e 8  msgs. are updated without the need to reload the page (new install)

@ prolaznik - Everything works fine, even in IE, when using the JQuery version 1.3.2 except for that Mod I have installed. The mod I have will work in FireFox just fine too using the version 1.3.2. Its just an issue with IE 8.

To fix this issue with IE 8 and the java applets it uses, you have to upgrade the jquery to version 1.4.3. When I do that, everything works fine in FF and IE (even that mod), but then Simple Messenger will not update properly.

so if i understand right your mod won't work in i.e using the jq version 1.3.2
if you use  version 1.4.3 it works fine but the simpl msnger doesn't update in i.e

what's the mod you're using maybe you can try and modify your mod to use the new jq and leave the old one for the site.

Correct,

Its the Musical eCards Mod from AndrewP. We discussed this a bit this morning and he was the one that pointed out to update the query.

I would even be willing to do that as well, meaning If I can tell 'either' one to use a specific jquery, that would be sufficient for me.

JQuery version is heavily dependent on a lot of code in Dolphin (most important are forms and builders), so upgrading to jQuery 1.4.x may cause many errors.

We will consider upgrading jQuery version in Dolphin 7.1 only.

Not a problem. I was able to resolve the issue by commenting a few lines that are no longer used in the newer version of jquery.

Specifically a few lines around line 2644 right under:

// Handle triggering native .onfoo handlers (and on links since we don't call .click() for links)

Both the mod and messenger seem to be working just fine now.
