I figured out, that releases of JQuery Tools are quite buggy or at least incompatible with JQuery releases.
The reason is - as a developer I always use firebug (FF plugin, e.g. newest 1.5.3) to check javascripts and DOM in browser. When I try to install JQuery tools (older but also newest 1.2.1) with JQuery (1.4.2), it throws sooo many errors in firebug console, that it makes it almost impossible to work with it. The error is usually of the same type: "variable X not defined".
I am wondering - are JQuery Tools developers not using some errors-catch up debug tool or am I doing something wrong..?
Even when I come to this DEMO site, I very often experience errors on Firebug console. I only can surf over demos when I shut Firebug down. How is this possible - to release such a buggy scripts.. :)
Due to this reason, I decided (with great regret) not to implement JQuery tools on my websites.
Does anybody have also this experience?
Or am I doing something wrong?
Pls dont tell me to uninstall Firebug coz it works okay (checked many times), and I need it daily for my work. I really think that JQuery developers are not paying attention to catch up uninitiated variables (passing variables) between JQuery library and JQuery Tools.
You can reproduce problem for example here:
http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/overlay/apple.html
(on page load firebug throws error "break on error - d is undefined")
(It looks like some functions are not initiated, or perhaps scripts expired in cache... (?) Coz sometime it may happen that the same error will suddenly not occur, but another one would pop up few clicks later on another page. Not easy to reproduce.)
Unless this is fixed, I cannot implement buggy scripts on my websites:-(( even so powerful...:-((
