appendto / jquery-win8 Goto Github PK

I'm wondering if anyone tried the current version of jquery-win8, because I ran into an exception:

'WWAHost.exe' (Script): Loaded 'Script Code (MSAppHost/1.0)'.
Exception was thrown at line 5357, column 6 in ms-appx://a56892a0-566a-4680-8e82-485cb0379a86/res/jquery-1.8.2-win8-1.0.js
0x800a139e - JavaScript runtime error: SyntaxError
The program '[3668] WWAHost.exe' has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff).

It's part of the selector function. Any idea why this happens?

Hey guys, do you also have a jquery UI version? :)

Seems that there is confusion on the purpose of this library.

For instance: Does jQuery not work well on browsers in Windows 8? (which it does need to be clear it has issues on windows 8 apps)

Hi,
I am having trouble with the App Certification Kit while trying to create a package for the Windows 8 Store.
My app is clearlt made with javascript and I use a bunch of libraries such as:

• jquery-win8
• jquery-ui
• twitter bootstrap
• underscore.js
• backbone.js

Plus my own library code of course.

The application works fine, but the problem appears when trying to validate the app using the ACK, which tells me that the jquery file comes with the wrong encoding. Trying the suggested solution(saving the file again changing the encoding to UTF-8) doesn't solve the problem, even though it worked with other files that had the same issue (underscore, backbone, bootstrap, etc).

The error message I get can be seen here: http://twitter.yfrog.com/z/gyfhvvrp

Some information on my environment:

• Windows 8 Pro (version 6.2, build 9200)
• Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8 (version 11.0.51106.01 Update 1)
• .Net Framework 4.5.50709
• Runs within a VMWare Fusion instance

Is there any other information I can provide to help solve this problem?

Hi!

I've tried to copy some of the demos in ToDoMVC into a Win8 app but cannot get any to run because they all throw an exception on this.appendChild(e)

Is this a bug?

From: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14266827/how-to-convert-jquery-ajax-call-to-winjs-xhr-or-win8-equivalent/

Seems win8 is blocking local calls with jQuery ajax.

Research this and see if there is a problem we need to look into.

I'm not sure how you would plan to do this, but in trying to leverage ember.js (it specifically checks for the version of jQuery used) and in this project the version is currently set to @Version

We need to add license information

Forgive me if this has been covered before, but I'm having an issue utilizing JSONP to make cross-domain ajax calls.

The jquery-win8 library is working very well for just about everything else, though. If an ajax call uses 'jsonp' the call is made within a WinRT application, the typical "An app can’t load remote web content in the local context." error is generated.
For example:

$.ajax({
    url: "http://external_server.com/api_endpoint",
    dataType: 'jsonp',
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    data: {message: "some_message"},
    success: function(rdata){ 
        console.log("success!");
    },
    error: function(edata){
        console.log("ERROR:" + edata.status + ", " + edata.statusText);
    }
});

I have come up with a workaround, using an IFRAME executing in the web context (url protocol of "ms-appx-web:"), and then using .postMessage to tunnel back and forth, with the IFRAME script making the actual JSONP call above. But this seems like a lot of work and will incur some performance penalties for the indirection.

Question(s):

• Is JSONP ever going to be natively supported by this library?
• If not, (or if it will take a while) are there any other approaches to supporting cross-domain ajax that we can take?
• Is the IFRAME Tunneling approach unsound? Is there a possibility of MS shutting that down in the future?
