Local jQuery.js file not working - javascript

I had downloaded jQuery.js file from jQuery.com .I have saved this file in 3 places, including JRE/Lib and desktop (where my HTML file which calls it is), to be sure that the jQuery.js file is found. I reference this js file as :
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("#clas").click(function(){
$(this).hide();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="clas"> Hello</p>
<p>Hi</p>
</body>
When I ran this HTML file on Mozilla browser, I expected 'Hello' to vanish when I clicked on it, but it did not. It remained as solid as ever.
But when I used a jQuery CDN:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js">
And when I used an online HTML editor called Tryit Editor v1.5, it worked correctly!
It seems only the local jQuery.js is not doing its part. The JavaScript works fine, only the $() part doesn't. I'm using jdk1.6. I wonder why this snag has occurred. How to resolve it? Help.

Thanks! I found the solution to this problem, from a similar question posted in this forum, asked a year ago. Here is the link:
jQuery code doesn't work if I'm using a local jquery.js file, why?
The problem seems to have been incompatible encoding of the html and the js files. So I added the charset attribute to script tag of js. And the problem and 'Hello' both vanished at a click!

Your code works for me. Please check the below code, I have just modified the location of the jquery.js file where mine is stored in a different location.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<%--<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>--%>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Scripts/jQuery/jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#clas").click(function () {
$(this).hide();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="clas">Hello</p>
<p>Hi</p>
</body>
</html>
I assume the location of your js is not correct. Are you using the same path of js where you have this "html" or jsp page? Or you have the js files in a separate folder?
Additionally, you can try alternate way as below:
$("#clas").live("click", function () {
$(this).hide();
});
Please let me know if this helps.

Why is this javascript not working in thymeleaf's inline javascript tag? Is something wrong with Syntax? [duplicate]

How come this code throws an
Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined
when it was OK before?
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#tabs > ul').tabs({ fx: { opacity: 'toggle' } });
$('#featuredvid > ul').tabs();
});
Results in tabs don't close anymore.
jQuery is referenced in the header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_option('siteurl') ?>/js/sprinkle.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_option('siteurl') ?>/js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_option('siteurl') ?>/js/jquery-ui-personalized-1.5.2.packed.js"></script>
You should put the references to the jquery scripts first.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery-ui-personalized-1.5.2.packed.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="/js/sprinkle.js"></script>
You are calling the ready function before the jQuery JavaScript is included. Reference jQuery first.
This is what solved it for me. Originally I went to Google and copied and pasted their suggested snippet for jQuery on their CDN page:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
The snippet does not include the HTTP: or HTTPS: in the src attribute but my browser, FireFox, needed it so I changed it to:
edit: this worked for me with Google Chrome as well
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Then it worked.
If your custom script is loaded before the jQuery plugin is loaded to the browser then this type of problem may occur. So, always keep your own JavaScript or jQuery code after calling the jQuery plugin so the solution for this is :
First add the link to the jQuery file hosted at GoogleApis or a local jQuery file that you will download from http://jquery.com/download/ and host on your server:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
or any plugin for jQuery. Then put your custom script file link or code:
<script src="js/custom.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
In my case I was putting my .js file before the jQuery script link, putting the .js file after jQuery script link solved my issue.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="exponential.js"></script>
Add the library before you start the script.You can add any of these following CDN to start it.
Google:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Microsoft
<script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
Jquery
If you want any other Jquery cdn version check this link.
After this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
//your stuff
});
or
$(document).ready(function(){
//your stuff
});
</script>
Wordpress:
<script type="text/javascript">
var $ = jQuery;
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
//your stuff
});
</script>
Okay, my problem was different - it was Document Security model in Chrome.
Looking at the answers here, it was obvious that I was somehow not loading my jquery files before calling the $(document).ready() etc. functions. However, they were all in the correct positions.
In my case, this was because I was accessing the content over a secure HTTPS connection, whereas the page was trying to download the CDN hosted data from google, etc. The solution was to store them locally and then include then directly rather than from the CDN each time.
Edit: The other way of doing this is to link to all the CDN-hosted stuff as https:// rather than http:// - then the model doesn't complain.
You are calling the ready() function before the jQuery JavaScript is included. Reference jQuery first.
If you're in ASP.NET MVC, you can specify when your JS code should be rendered, by doing this:
1, In your page.cshtml wrap your <script> tag into a section, and give it a name, the common name to use is 'scripts':
#section scripts {
<script>
// JS code...
</script>
}
2, In your _Layout.cshtml page add #RenderSection("Scripts", required: false), make sure to put it after you reference the Jquery source, this will make your JS code render later than the Jquery.
Add jQuery library before your script which uses $ or jQuery so that $ can be identified in scripts.
remove tag script on head and put end bady
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
then first write script in file js add
/*global $ */
$(document).ready(function(){ });
If it's in wordpress, might be needed to change
$(document).ready(function() {
to
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
or add
var $ = jQuery;
before
$(document).ready(function() {
I had the exact same problem and none of these solutions above helped.
however, I just linked the .css files after the .js files and the problem miraculously disappeared. Hope this helps.
In my case I had this referenceError as the order of script calls was wrong. Solved that by changing the order:
<script src="js/index.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
to
<script src="js/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="js/index.js"></script>
I wanted to try to make my script asynchronous. Then I forgot about it and when I went live the [custom].js file only loaded 50% of the time before the jQuery.js.
So I changed
<script async src="js/script.js"></script>
to
<script src="js/script.js"></script>
I had the same problem , and I solved by putting jQuery at the top of all javascript codes I have in my code.
Something like this:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/form.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/create.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/tween.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Hope can help some one in future.
put latest jquery cdn on top of your main html page
Like If your main html page is index.html
place jquery cdn on top of this page like this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("h2").hide();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h2>This will hide me</h2>
<button>Click me</button>
</body>
</html>
Include the jQuery CDN (or jQuery ref) in the index file first. before including your JS file to ensure we are accessing the jQuery.
following lines worked for me
Can get a clear idea about this by referring to the following link
reference site:
https://www.tutorialrepublic.com/faq/how-to-fix-dollar-is-not-defined-error-in-jquery.php
Answer: Execute Code after jQuery Library has Loaded
The most common reason behind the error "Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined" is executing the jQuery code before the jQuery library file has loaded. Therefore make sure that you're executing the jQuery code only after jQuery library file has finished loading.
In my case it was a typo, I forgot a backslash and was referencing the source incorrectly.
Before src="/scripts/jquery.js"
After src="scripts/jquery.js"
If you are doing this in .Net and have the script file referenced properly and you jQuery looks fine, make sure that your users have access to the script file. The project I was working on (a coworker) had their web.config denying access to anonymous users. The page I was working on was accessible to anonymous users therefore they didn't have access to the script file. Dropped the following into the web.config and all was right in the world:
<location path="Scripts">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
The source file jquery-1.2.6.min.js is not called the jQuery command $() is executed earlier than <..src='jquery-1.2.6.min.js'>.
Please run <.. src="/js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js.."> at first and make sure the src path is right, then execute jquery command
$(document).ready(function()
This happened to me before.
The reason was that I'm connecting android to a webview with a JS. And I sent a parameter without quotes.
js.sayHello(hello);
and when I changed it to
js.sayHello('hello');
it worked.
The error will occur in the following two scenarios as well.
#section scripts element is missing from the HTML file
Error in accessing DOM elements. For example accessing of DOM element is mentioned as $("js-toggle") instead of $(".js-toggle"). Actually the period is missing
So 3 things to be followed - check required scripts are added, check if it is added in the required order and third syntax errors in your Java Script.
I had similar issue. My test server was working fine with "http". However it failed in production which had SSL.
Thus in production, I added "HTPPS" instead of "HTTP" and in test, i kept as it is "HTTP".
Test:
wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js', array(), null, false );
wp_register_script( 'custom-script', plugins_url( '/js/custom.js', __FILE__ ), array( 'jquery' ) );
Production:
wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js', array(), null, false );
wp_register_script( 'custom-script', plugins_url( '/js/custom.js', __FILE__ ), array( 'jquery' ) );
Hope this will help someone who is working on wordpress.
Your JavaScript file is missing so this error occurred. Just add the JavaScript file inside the <head> tag. See the example:
<script src="js/sample.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="css/sample.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
or add the following code in tag :
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
In my case i forgot to include this :
<script src ="jquery-2.1.1.js"></script>
Earlier I was including just jquery-mobile which was causing this error.
I modified the script tag to point to the right content and changed the script order to be the right one in the editor. But totally forgot to save the change.
Doh! I had mixed quotes in my tags that caused the jquery reference to break. Doing an inspect in Chrome allowed me to see that the file wasn't properly linked.
You have not referenced a jQuery library.
You'll need to include a line similar to this in your HTML:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
I had a similar issue and it was because I was missing a closing > on a style sheet link.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="local_xxx.js"></script>
I have similar issue, and you know what, it's because of network is disconnected when I test in android device webview and I don't realize it, and the local js no problem to load because it doesn't need network. It seems ridiculous but it waste my ~1 hour to figure out it.
if you are laraveling that error comes on in blade files when you forgot to surround the code with :
#section('section name')
.......
#endsection

jquery not working inside of html script tags

This question is not a duplicate!
I have tried many methods, yet they havent worked. I cannot tell what i am doing wrong. I have the src in the top script tags and i used $(document).ready
Here is the code:
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script>
</head>
<button id="button">Button</button>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#button").click(function() {
alert("Test");
});
});
</script>
</html>
Does the file jquery-3.3.1.min.js exist in the same path as your html file?
If not, you need to download jQuery or link to a CDN instead of a local file.
Your "jquery-3.3.1.min.js" file may not present in your working path. Make sure you provided the correct path or else you can load jquery from CDN directly.
Or
Try moving the script inside 'head' tag.

The mystery of '$.md5 is not a function'

I have a js code that uses jQuery.MD5 library. It works perfectly on my server:
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://example.com/static/js/jquery.md5.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
// my code goes here (declaring variables and functions)
var code = $.md5('mystring');
// and a little more code
</script>
</body>
But then I upload it to a web application (which I cannot control), that makes it look like this and puts it into an iframe:
<head>
<script>
// some extra variables are declared here
// double-checked that nothing here can break my code
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://example.com/static/js/jquery.md5.js"></script>
<script>
// some code
var code = $.md5('mystring');
// some code
</script>
</body>
And this code starts giving me the $.md5 is not a function error. Strange thing. Tried clearing the cache, putting jquery.md5.js code directly into mine, nothing works.
Note that all the code works on my machine, so there must be no problem with my JS.
Update: the problematic code behavior seems to be unpredictable, meaning that sometimes it works fine with no changes.
What can be wrong?
Hm... That's a little embarrassing, but the problem was in jQuery. The one I included in my iframe conflicted with the one included in the page. Somehow this lead to "hiding" my $.md5 function after its code's end.
And yeah, I know, it was quite obvious that jQuery could cause problems.
If you want to use jQuery md5 function you should have import jquery.md5.js file in your project.
Steps-
Download jquery.md5.js file from https://github.com/placemarker/jQuery-MD5
Copy this file into your source folder. (ex: assert/theme/js)
Import that js file to your project.
(ex: <script src="<?= base_url(); ?>/public/assert/theme/js/jquery.md5.js"></script>
)
That's it! You are done!

Javascript(Jquery) executes in HTML header but not not when in an external JS file

I know this stuff has been asked before...but I am a bit confused about this still. I have my index.html file and I have a script tag linking to my external JS file. If I only have that script tag the JS does nothing, but if I copy the JS and paste it into it's own script tag in the HTML header it works just fine. There's gotta be something I'm missing with Jquery.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<script src="jquery-3.2.0.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="FinalProjectCss.css">
<title>Dustin Naylor - Final Project</title>
<script src="FinalProjectJS.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".section").click(function(){
if($(this).next().is(":hidden")) {
$(this).next().slideDown("fast");
} else{
$(this).next().hide();
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<span class="section">Click Me</span>
<div class = "hiddenDiv">
Oh hey there.
</div>
</body>
</html>
So the code in the last script tag that is Jquery stuff is exactly copied into a separate JS file named FinalProjectJS.js. In the current state this code is in it works as desired, but when I remove that chunk of code from the html file it doesn't work....Sorry for my nubishness, I'm rather new and any help would be great! thanks!
Can you write the contents of your jquery file: FinalProjectJS.js? The syntax for calling the external file seems to be correct. So I'm thinking it might be something about the path or the jquery external file contents itself. Make sure you don't include <script> tags on that file. Here's a sample.
Another thing, last time I've worked with jquery, I can't directly see it take effect when both my files are stored locally. It had to be stored in a server first, then accessed by my PC. Only then did my jquery took effect. A dev I worked with added some text to my Google Chrome's properties (target) so that even if my file is not stored in a server, I can see jquery take effect even if both my HTML and jquery files are stored locally.
...sorry, I'm not allowed to comment yet to clarify your post.
You must add the jQuery script tag before FinalProjectJS.js for the jQuery snippet to work.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.js"

Error in Success callbackId: GeolocationXXXX : ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $ [duplicate]

I am using jQuery. This is my coding on my main page:

Any help would be appreciated.
You have to import jQuery before using it:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>
Notice it is using // as protocol (not http:// or https://), it means: if your .html file is at a http:// server, it will get jQuery from http://ajax.google..., and if it is at a https:// server, it will get it from https://ajax.google....
Note: If, while developing, you open your HTML file in your browser instead of in a server, you should specify the protocol, as in this answer, otherwise it won't work:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
Also, you should, if possible, place your .js files at the bottom of the page, right before closing </body>. See more in here.
Import jQuery before your code
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"><script>
Include jQuery before your script
<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js></script>
this is jquery load problem,
load jquery before all your code and script.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.0.0/jquery.min.js" ></script>
