Firefox + Jquery UI dialog() bug in XHTML files

I’ve tried Jquery UI 1.6rc2 embedded in a XHTML (note the “X”,).

When trying this simple code:

$(”#hello1″).dialog();

Assuming my xhtml file contains something like:

<div id=”hello1″>Hello</div>

Instead of having my “Hello” embedded in a nice dialog, I encountered the following problem

[Exception... "Cannot modify properties of a WrappedNative" nsresult:
"0x80570034 (NS_ERROR_XPC_CANT_MODIFY_PROP_ON_WN)" location: "JS frame
:: http://localhost:8080/hello.xml :: anonymous :: line 91"
data: no]withinElement()()jquery.js (line 2404)

handle()()jquery.js (line 2076)
(?)()()jquery.js (line 1859)
[Break on this error] while ( parent && parent != elem ) try …tNode; }
catch(error) { parent = elem; }

This is a bit mysterious to me. Fortunately if I try with

$(”#hello1″).dialog({title: “hello”});

It fixes the problem

Note: I’ve only tried on Firefox 3.0.1 w/ Firebug 1.2.1
