Jquery 1.10.2

[magnetic-pi]

HI Christian! Firstly, I'd like to start off by saying this is a kick as project! I love it and I am not sure why it doesn't have more traction. I'd like to report a bug. If using a newer version of jquery:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>                                          
<script type="text/javascript" src=" http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.map"></script>  

The wm_preview does not display properly:

<div class="wm_preview" style="display: none;">$e^{\pi i} + 1 = 0$</div>

I am a bit confused as to how this is getting rendered. I think this functionality is being rendered by:

https://github.com/christianp/writemaths/blob/master/writemaths.js#L85

I tried changing the z-index as well as positioning to no avail. Do you have any thoughts?

Cheers, Jon

It looks like the problem is caused by the fact that $.browser was finally removed in jquery 1.9. jquery.caretposition uses $.browser all over the place, and it's not clear what features it's trying to detect so I don't know how to fix it. Using jQuery.migrate gives $.browser back and makes it all work again. I've opened issue beviz/jquery-caret-position-getter#5 to see if anyone knows how to go about updating it.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I fixed the jquery-caret-position issue here:

https://github.com/jcostello84/jquery-caret-position-getter

Unfortunately, when I changed the caret-position file within the writemaths project, its still not working:

Any thoughts?

The issue I am seeing has to do with the location of preview when hovering over $e^{\pi i} + 1 = 0$ in the div area.

Cheers, Jon

Perhaps something like this may work, but I am not 100% sure where to implement this in writemaths.js:

Was this your submission? http://code.google.com/p/rangy/issues/detail?id=165

You can't just swap $.browser for $.support - the browser-detection features have been completely removed.

Howdy - I was just able to replace jquery-caret-position-getter with https://github.com/Codecademy/textarea-helper. I just had to make a change to one line in writemaths. I don't know how great a solution this is, but it works for me in case you want to consider it.

With the current version of jQuery I also had to specify the preview's offset differently (appears "offset" is no longer the way to do it).

Here's the commit in case it helps: https://github.com/jpslav/exercises/commit/4110c2c205fc201fdefaca7cb1ef3a363564cdb5#diff-2c2cfebab607f776f64fff9a004b13e7
