This is my second project using jQuery Address, and I think there is something weird with Firefox, or at least I can figure out that it has a different behavior in Firefox and Webkit.
When deep linking, jQuery Address should fire a change event and execute the piece of JavaScript related to this state.
For /foo/bar deep link, if I write down the event object to the console, in Google Chrome, I have two events fired :
jQuery.Event #1
path: "/"
pathNames: Array[0]
queryString: ""
timeStamp: 1335431580471
type: "change"
value: "/"
jQuery.Event #2
path: "/foo/bar"
pathNames: Array[2]
queryString: ""
timeStamp: 1335431580471
type: "change"
value: "/foo/bar"
But in Firefox, I have only one event fired, that doesn't take in account the current URI :
jQuery.Event #1
path: "/"
pathNames: Array[0]
queryString: ""
timeStamp: 1335431580471
type: "change"
value: "/"
So obviously in Firefox the lightbox that I want to open for the /foo/bar URI is never going to open :-(
Here is my code for jQuery address :
$.address.crawlable(1).state('/').change(function(event) {
var page = event.path;
if (page == '/foo/bar'){
openLightbox($('#create-popup-template').html());
create_main();
}
});
For now I am using a simple workaround to make it work in Firefox, just adding a init function to force a second change event in Firefox :
$.address.init(function(){
if ($.browser.mozilla)
$.address.value(window.location.pathname);
});
But it's been the second time I have to do this and it doesn't feel right.. am I missing something ?
I also already tried to mess up with internal and external changes callbacks, with no chance..
Thanks for helping,
Thomas.
