I’m having a weird issue. When adding support for Jquery 1.7.2, I am unable to add line-breaks to textareas in forms. When I click, enter, nothing happens.<\/p>\n
I fiddled with the source code in jquery, and found that if I commented out the following code (on line 4845)<\/p>\n
for ( var type in Expr.match ) {\n Expr.match[ type ] = new RegExp( Expr.match[ type ].source + (\/(?![^\\[]*\\])(?![^\\(]*\\))\/.source) );\n Expr.leftMatch[ type ] = new RegExp( \/(^(?:.|\\r|\\n)*?)\/.source + Expr.match[ type ].source.replace(\/\\\\(\\d+)\/g, fescape) );\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nthe ability to add line breaks was restored. I’m not seeing anyone else having this issue, so I’m guessing something else is going on. However, my question is: what is the purpose of the code above (I’m not very javascript-savvy), and does removing it pose any risk? I’d like to just remove the code and restore line break ability to textareas, but don’t want to bork the site unknowingly. I did notice that after doing this, I’m seeing an error in the js console:<\/p>\n
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'exec' of undefined -- jquery.js:4185\n<\/code><\/pre>\nAny help would be greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n
Here is some code sample. The html:<\/p>\n

The issue was this code:<\/p>\n
$(window).keydown(function(event)\n {\n if(event.keyCode == 13) \n {\n event.preventDefault();\n return false;\n }\n });\n<\/code><\/pre>\nSetting it to refer to only the div it impacted (an autocomplete search menu we wanted to disable the ability to click enter on), restored line break functionality everywhere else:<\/p>\n
$(\"#somediv\").keydown(function(event)\n {\n if(event.keyCode == 13) \n {\n event.preventDefault();\n return false;\n }\n });\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nOriginally posted 2013-11-15 09:09:19. <\/small><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
