jQuery partnership with Nokia = Fail

Last fall jQuery announced with great fanfare that Nokia has decided to endorse their framework and ship it with the widgets for its phones.

It’s funny how nobody has noticed that very basic things in jQuery (like $(”item”).html(”something”); ) CRASH the S60 web browser of Nokia (which is supposed to be Webkit, by the way).

Yes, the browser doesn’t even emit errors, it just crashes.

Hasn’t anybody in Nokia actually tried using jQuery with their browser before deciding to endorse them?
