VS2013 'Browser Link' Unsupported Pseudo
posted

With Visual Studio 2013 and the infragistics WebDataGrid (2013.2.2028)...

If I try to debug the project when the VS2013 feature called 'Browser Link' is enabled then I get javascript errors and IIS Express has a tendency to ramp up to 100% CPU and stay there. 

In my project I have this html created as part of the grid:

<div class="ig_Header igdw_HeaderArea" id="x:590945947.0:obj:header" style="color: black; overflow: hidden;" obj="header">

Browser Link is using jquery to find this element based on id. JQuery fails with an 'unsupported pseudo' error if you try to find an element by id that has a colon in. Browser Link then dies.

So - I think browser link has to be switched off if you want to debug in visual studio 2013 - and it's on by default. I'm not sure if this is a Browser Link problem or a jquery problem.

Maybe you guys could go nag Microsoft.

    Hello jonathanhartesg,

    Thank you for posting in our community.

    The behavior that you are experiencing is a known issue in jQuery, which by design is internally used in the browser Link functionality.  When an element that contains ":" in its id is selected jQuery does not return element. The reason for this issue is jQuery has some predefined pseudo selectors and "x:590945947.0:obj:header" is not a valid selector.

    Since this issue is still not fixed in the latest versions of jQuery what I could currently suggest is to disable Browser Link feature in Visual Studio 2013.

    I hope you find this information helpful.

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions regarding this matter.
