elem.ownerDocument is undefined when animate a not-dom object

[sovesove]

Got this error with touchcarousel plugin that do something like that:

var from = {property: 0}; var to = {property: 100};

jQuery(from).animate(to, { duration: 100, step: function() { console.log( 'Currently @ ' + this.property ); } });

the "from" element is not a dom element so the .css() method crash with the error elem.ownerDocument is undefined

I think this bug is jQuery related.... jquery needs a DomElement for the animation.

Please see for animating non-Dom elements: http://acko.net/files/bacon/animation-demo.html

Nope, jQuery give the possibility to "animate" also a property of a json object.

Hum can you give me the exact line where it fails ? I mean the like where the .css method is called in the plugin ? Try adding the parameter avoidCssTransitions for this particular case

[sovesove]

line 272 in function _interpretValue

try this

jQuery(from).animate(to, { duration: 100, avoidCSSTransitions: true });

[sovesove]

yes, it works.

I had tried putting the parameter avoidCSSTransitions: true in the second object passed to the function. I suppose it would work so well, but moving it in the first object parameter make it works.

i moved avoidCSSTransitions: true from "params" json to "to" json. $(from).animate(to, params);

thank you.

yes you need to put it in the first parameter passed to the animated functions, just as the others new params such as avoidTransforms, useTranslate3d, leaveTransforms.

You can close this issue since this plugin is for Dom-Element only.

[sovesove]

Close. Thank you.
