sandbox.useFakeTimers does not work about sinon HOT 8 CLOSED

After reading some of the SinonJS, Qunit and jQuery code I managed to find out that jQuery is using window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame or window.mozRequestAnimationFrame instead of setInterval.

This http://jsfiddle.net/VCMAc/ shows that if you set window.mozRequestAnimationFrame to false before loading jQuery, it will use setTimeout and SinonJS will work properly.

Thanks for figuring out this. I guess the site should give a different example that will actually work...

It looks like the RAF support is going to be removed from jQuery for now, which would probably get rid of this issue as well. Nonetheless would be good to also solve this in Sinon.JS for backwards compability.

Btw. both sinonjs.org and http://cjohansen.no/sinon/ take forever to load, if they load at all.

Sorry about the sites... I've been having some trouble with my VPS, but haven't been able to debug it yet :(

Closing this issue as it is not a bug in the timing code.

Was thinking it might be worth updating the documentation to cover this case.

@woodlouse81 I agree. A pull request for https://github.com/cjohansen/sinon-web would be most welcome ;)
