jQuery 1.9 incompatibility (jQuery.browser removed)

[george....@gmail.com]

I have jQuery 1.9 automatically included by the framework (jquery-rails, twitter-bootstrap-rails etc)

It appears that CLeditor uses deprecated stuff that has been removed in 1.9.

Notably the jQuery.browser object.

I have got over this using the jquery-browser plugin which appears to fix the issue but I wondered if there were any other problems that I should be aware of with 1.9 and whether CLeditor will get an update sometime?

Quickfix should be to edit line 156:

old   ie = $.browser.msie,
new ie = /msie/i.test(navigator.userAgent),

The bigger question is, "Will this project ever be updated?"  Is it still an active project?   The last release looks like 2010... so ,"not an active project?"  If I can't find a better solution then I may have to fork the code and support it myself (for internal projects) but I'd rather not.

That fix does not work.  $.browser is deprecated and has been removed in the latest jquery.  It is used multiple times in the cleditor code.

I added this to my javascript and then it works. You don't have to change anything in the cleditor code.

jQuery.uaMatch = function( ua ) {
ua = ua.toLowerCase();
var match = /(chrome)[ \/]([\w.]+)/.exec( ua ) ||
    /(webkit)[ \/]([\w.]+)/.exec( ua ) ||
    /(opera)(?:.*version|)[ \/]([\w.]+)/.exec( ua ) ||
    /(msie) ([\w.]+)/.exec( ua ) ||
    ua.indexOf("compatible") < 0 && /(mozilla)(?:.*? rv:([\w.]+)|)/.exec( ua ) ||
    [];
return {
    browser: match[ 1 ] || "",
    version: match[ 2 ] || "0"
};
};
if ( !jQuery.browser ) {
matched = jQuery.uaMatch( navigator.userAgent );
browser = {};
if ( matched.browser ) {
    browser[ matched.browser ] = true;
    browser.version = matched.version;
}
// Chrome is Webkit, but Webkit is also Safari.
if ( browser.chrome ) {
    browser.webkit = true;
} else if ( browser.webkit ) {
    browser.safari = true;
}
jQuery.browser = browser;

The recommended way to handle this sort of issue now appears to be the jQueryMigrate plugin.

Include the jquery-migrate js code after jquery is loaded but before other libraries such as cleditor.

It will do two things, warn you of the deprecated / obsolete code and also allow that code to run.

For example the output in my console when using jqeuery-migrate with cleditor looks as follows:

JQMIGRATE: Logging is active jquerymigrate.js:22

JQMIGRATE: jQuery.browser is deprecated jquerymigrate.js:41

1. console.trace() jquerymigrate.js:43
1. migrateWarnjquerymigrate.js:43
2. Object.defineProperty.getjquerymigrate.js:58
3. (anonymous function)jquery.cleditor.js:156
4. (anonymous function)jquery.cleditor.js:1132

Browse for ".browse" (without the double quote) within the code of the files "jquery.cleditor.js" or "jquery.cleditor.min.js", depending of which one are you using, and replace it with ".support". That is all.

This problem was fixed in version 1.4.0.
