Question

hello i was using my long polling code from a long time it was working fine with jquery verison 1.8 but since i upgraded it to verison 1.8.1 it stopped working and its giving me the error

Error: NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS: Could not convert JavaScript

  (function pollfrnd() { setTimeout(function() { 
        var demon=$('.frndnotimore').val();
        var page="notirequest";
        var a=$('.gvpgvpxgvp').val();
        $.ajax({ url: 'modules/notifications/beast.php?nid='+demon+'&id='+a+'&page='+page, 
        success: function(html) {
        if ($.trim(html) == 'no')
        {

        }
        else
        {

        $('.frndnotimore').remove();
        $('.notiloadfriend').prepend($(html).fadeIn('slow'));
        counter(a,page);
        }
        }, dataType: "html", complete: pollfrnd }); }, 60000); })();

    });

When I run your code exactly as below, I get no error at all actually(jquery 1.7.2 AND jquery 1.8.1 AND EVEN Firefox 14) and it even tries to poll something:

function pollfrnd() { setTimeout(function() { 
        var demon=$('.frndnotimore').val();
        var page="notirequest";
        var a=$('.gvpgvpxgvp').val();
        $.ajax({ url: 'modules/notifications/beast.php?nid='+demon+'&id='+a+'&page='+page, 
        success: function(html) {
        if ($.trim(html) == 'no')
        {

        }
        else
        {

        $('.frndnotimore').remove();

        $('.notiloadfriend').prepend(html);
        //This code below was your problem in Firefox
        //$('.notiloadfriend').prepend($(html).fadeIn('slow'));
        counter(a,page);
        }
        }, dataType: "html", complete: pollfrnd }); }, 60000); }

 pollfrnd();
