Greasemonkey @require jQuery not working “Component not available”

Question

I\'ve seen the other question on here about loading jQuery in a Greasemonkey. Having tried that method, with this require statement inside my ==UserScript== tag

Answer 1

Good news and updating all postings:

The above patch allowed pre-1.5.2 jQuery versions to be run in Greasemonkey scripts, but fortunately the patch is no longer required if you use the current jQuery 1.5.2 version.

I checked its code and noticed that the eventSupported function code in jQuery

var eventSupported = function(eventName) { ... }

has been updated with the consequence that unpatched jQuery 1.5.2 now runs in Greasemonkey 0.9.2.

Answer 2

I was stumbling around trying to deal with this issue with GM 0.8 and jquery 1.4.2 and found this: http://forum.jquery.com/topic/importing-jquery-1-4-1-into-greasemonkey-scripts-generates-an-error

It looks to me like the definitive answer to the question and how to work around it. The workaround worked for me.
