'$.ui.fancytree.getNode(jQuery)' fails on jQuery v3.x

[mdarim]

Thanks for contributing :-)

Expected and actual behavior

I updated the contextMenu demo page to use jQuery v3.1.0 instead of version 1.12.1, then when I run the demo the context menu showed fine but after selection it display node with "null" value. my expected behavior is the context extension demo supported with jQuery v3.1.0.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Open the file fancytree-master/3rd-party/extensions/contextmenu/contextmenu.html
2. repalce the <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.1.min.js"></script> line with <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.min.js"></script>
3. run and select a node and see what will be displayed.

Environment

• Browser type and version: chrome, ie11, edge
• jQuery and jQuery UI versions: jQuery 3.1.0 , jQuery UI 1.11.4
• Fancytree version: latest version.
  enabled/affected extensions: contextMenu.

Does this extension or jquery context plugin supports jquery 3 or not yet ?

Thanks for reporting this.
It seems you found a more general problem, regarding the getNode() helper.
I changed the title accordingly.

Is there a fix for this? Just happened to me using latest JQuery 3.2.1, and context menu 2.25.0

@TheMightyPope yes it should have been fixed in march.
Seems to run here http://wwwendt.de/tech/fancytree/demo/index.html#sample-3rd-jQuery-contextMenu.html, at least in safari.
Can you give more information?
