Fancybox is not a function - javascript

Hello I am using the jQuery plugin fancybox to display bing maps when somebody enters an address into a textbox and hits the submit button beside it. And a fancybox is loaded and a map for that address is displayed. This is working well with my application, but the problem is, it is only working well on one page and on the other one, when I load it, it is giving me an error saying fancybox is not a function. I get to see this error in the error console and in the firebug console. I am not sure what could the problem. The same code works in another page, but it doesn't on this one?
$("Map").fancybox is not a function
I am pretty sure it is not re-usability issue. But when I test to see if fancybox's original files have been loaded, they are loaded with the dom, so it might not be actual problem. But I am unable to understand what else could the problem be.
This is my code
abbr: is just a text bit. I have different divs based on what the user selects. And each div would have its own controls, which would start with that text and are appended with their own definitions such as mapresults, decValLat, decValLon etc.
ex: abbr>>east
and then the ids would be eastmapresults, eastdecValLat, eastdecValLon etc.
function showMapFancybox(abbr){
var abbr;
$('#'+abbr+'mapresults').hide();
$('Map').fancybox({
overlayShow: true,
onClosed: function() {
$('#'+abbr+'mapresults').show();
map_latdec = $('#decValLat').attr('value');
map_longdec = $('#decValLon').attr('value');
map_latdeg = $('#degValLat').attr('value');
map_longdeg = $('#degValLon').attr('value');
$('#'+abbr+'decValLatsub').val(map_latdec);
$('#'+abbr+'decValLonsub').val(map_longdec);
$('#'+abbr+'degValLatsub').val(map_latdeg+'N');
$('#'+abbr+'degValLonsub').val(map_longdeg+'W');
}
}).click();
};

I already had this type of errors because i was reloading jQuery after the plugin import, check you don't reimport jquery by mistake (sometimes included in a package like jQuery tools).

I just had this issue, it seem some versions of jQuery are not compatible with versions of FancyBox, for example Fancybox 1.3.4 is buggy with jQuery versions below 1.7 and doesn't work on version higher than 1.8.

Possible Solutions:
1) have you already loaded jQuery? If not, then load it before any $ commands start.
2) Check, probably you are loading jquery library (.js) several times during the page. Try to load only one.
3) In the end of file, you can execute this javascript command: $ = jQuery.noConflict(); and it might solve. If not, then anywhere use the word jQuery instead of $, and it will work too.

You need to load the extensions like easing.js and mousewheel.js BEFORE the main fancybox plugin. That solves the problem.

If "fancybox" as a function does not exist, it is likely that either the jQuery source or the plugin source are failing to load into your page. Make sure that the pathing, file names, and extension are all correct.
EDIT: Make sure that you link to jQuery Source before you link to any plugins. If a plugin is loaded into your HTML before jQuery is, the plugin fails.

In my case it was jQuery.noConflict(); row in another jQuery plugin ... when I removed everything started to work.

If you are using a plugin which includes JQuery into your header tag, this trouble can arise.
I recently added 'TheThe Slider' to my blog, all my FancyBoxes stopped working. There are easy fixes for this situation though. basically, go to the plugin directory, search for the call to jquery and make it's usage conditional. If you would like to see my implementation of this I did blog about it with screen-capture.

I got this issue in my WordPress web site and I found the issue was happening due to fancybox.js presenting twice in the code from two plugins which I installed. So check your code and make sure to load from one source.

Javascript not running in WordPress

I'm trying to run JS code in WordPress, using a plugin; but can't make it work.
Here on this Codepen page, you can see the element I'm trying to integrate on my site (i.e. a drag and drop feature)
http://codepen.io/galaxija737/pen/pHvEi
And here, this is working properly.
But then, I can't figure out how to integrate the JS code properly into WordPress; whatever plugin i'm using. And idem into JSFiddle, impossible to run properly the script, as you can see...
https://jsfiddle.net/szan6shz/)
For instance using "TC-custom-javascript" plugin; when I add the JS code, nothing is running (i.e the drag-drop feature is not working; like on the Fiddle) :
I'm really new at Javascript as you can see. If anyone can give me a hand on this. (I guess i miss something is the way JS needs to be written/integrated)
Thanks a lot!

WordPress runs jQuery in safe mode. This means that you need to call it with jQuery instead of $. You can call your initial onload function with jQuery and pass $ into the function to define its use throughout the function.
See this example:
jQuery(function($){
$('.theclass').fadeIn('slow');
});

Script on parent site not working on child site: $.Deferred is not a function

I have a website that is built off a parent site, and needs to be as identical as possible. My clients have a process through which they grab all the scripts and css files of the parent site and use them to create the child. For one of these websites though, I am getting an error in the main javascript file that is not happening on the parent site.
Here are the two websites:
parent site
child site
The main issue is that the carousel at the top of the page (I believe it's using slickslider) is not getting initialized on the child site. I am not sure if this is because of the Javascript errors, and if you can figure out the reason why it's not working I will be super grateful as that is the main issue at hand. That said, I'm assuming right now that my problem is the javascript error in main.js:
Uncaught TypeError: l.Deferred is not a function
Again, there are no errors on the parent site, but l.Deferred breaks on the child site. Why isn't it working?
I tried wrapping l in jQuery -- $(l).Deferred -- but when I did this it seemed to cause a loop, where the page would spend several minutes trying to load before timing out and crashing.
If you can tell me why the slider on my child site isn't working, or at the very least why l.Deferred is breaking, that would be a huge help.
EDIT: Update to use the correct version of jquery:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>jq11 = jQuery.noConflict(true);</script>
<script src="/sites/all/themes/wma2/js/main.js"></script>
(function($){
window.matchMedia || (window.matchMedia = function(){....
})(jq11);
UPDATE: I checked the console and $.fn.jQuery is using the jquery 1.11.2 at the point when it says l.Deferred is not a function
I also tried wrapping l in the correct jquery:
jq11(l).Deferred
but when I do that the page gets stuck in a loop and crashes after trying to load for several minutes.
I'm not 100% sure what "process through which they grab all the scripts and css files of the parent site and use them to create the child" means, but the client page is at least at some point loading jQuery 1.4.4 (check the first of the last 3 included scripts in the head).
$.Deferred wasn't introduced until jQuery 1.5, https://api.jquery.com/jquery.deferred/ so trying to run anything using 1.4.4 will throw an error because that function, indeed, doesn't exist there.
One of the last scripts on the page loads another entire copy of jQuery, and THAT one, 1.11, does support Deferreds. But it's almost the last thing to run on the page, so almost no code uses it. So you have an old jQuery, then code that tries to use a method in a newer jQuery, and then finally a newer jQuery. That's why jQuery and $ aren't even assigned to the same thing, as you can confirm in the console:
jQuery.fn.jquery: "1.4.4"
$.fn.jquery: "1.11.2"
It's possible that you have code that uses old 1.4.4 syntax, so you may not be able to replace it, but it's probably best, if you do need both versions, to wrap all your code explicitly in an IIFE
(function($){
/* code using $, which maps to whatever is specified at the end*/
})(jQuery);
that specifies which of the two you mean to use.

Javascript errors in my Joomla website

my website is marutiindia.in. My website was working fine until I installed a module named lof k2 scroller. The website was showing jquery errors and the module at the lower half of the template was not working. But I managed to get the module to work by adding the following code at the start of the JS file which was showing error:
if(jQuery){
jQuery.noConflict();
}
But, now I am getting other JS errors which I am not able to understand.
Below is the link for the screenshot of errors:
Screenshot
I don't know what these errors mean.
Also I have one more plugin to use for my website which also causes scroller to not work.
Please help me resolve these errors.
Thanks.
Joomla uses Mootools, which also use the $ function name. in order to avoid this, your plugins either:
must use jQuery instead of $. For example, instead of $('div') to get divs, use jQuery('div')
if you really want to use $, wrap the jQuery code in a closure
(function($){
//code that uses `$`
}(jQuery))
make sure the plugins are extending from jQuery and not $.

wp_editor(), how to fetch content with jQuery

I got a wordpress page where users can add posts from the front_end. For this i use the WP_editor() function.
When I was trying the functions just plain in a new wordpress page I could just use
tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent();
But now I'm setting everything up as the final product should look like, this means the editor is loaded in a modalbox (using fancybox plugin), and it initalizes fine, and it works. But I can't fetch the content the same way, it just returns me with the following error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: tinyMCE is not defined
I assume this has something to do with the modal box loading the page in an iFrame, meaning the editor isn't there when the javascript code is running. How do I solve this? Can I bind it to something like .live() ?
Seems like such an easy problem, guess I'm just to tired to be thinking clearly today.
Best Regards.
On the Front-End try to use wp_enqueue_script('tiny_mce') before.
In the WordPress version I use the JavaScript object tinymce and not tinyMCE. Try using tinymce.

Combining Multiple jQuery Scripts

I'm trying to create a simple portfolio site for a friend of mine based around his drawings and paintings. The layout is relatively simple but is proving to be very difficult to implement. I have three jquery scripts on the page that each perform a specific function.
1) bgStretcher - Stretches a series of background images to fill a user's window.
2) collapse - Simple collapsable menu system
3) galleryview - Basic no frills slideshow gallery
Currently, bgstretcher and collapse are on one page called nav.shtml (http://yungchoi.com/nav.shtml) and the gallery on gallery.shtml(http://yungchoi.com/gallery.shtml). Seperatley they work fine, but when I call the nav page via SSI (test.shtml), The code seems to run into problems and becomes disabled.
The solutions I've found all lead to utilizing the noConflict function in jquery (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2656360/use-multiple-jquery-and-jquery-ui-libraries), (http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-use-jQuery_noConflict), but everytime I've tried inserting it and changing my code, everything gets messed up again. I've also organized each script's files into separate folders and directories but that hasn't helped either.
My experience is in graphic and web design, so my coding skills are not the greatest. I do know the basics, but rewriting jquery code was not something I ever learned so I might not be understanding how to correctly fix this problem. If someone could clearly and easily explain what I would need to do to make these all work together, I'd appreciate it greatly.
Thanks!
You still have multiple versions of jQuery being loaded in your page.
Remove:
<script type="text/javascript" src="support/bgstrecher/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
and
<script src="support/collapse/jquery-1.2.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
you should also remove:
<script type="text/javascript">
$.noConflict();
// Code that uses other library's $ can follow here.
</script>
& - (because you only need either the packed or unpacked version, not both)
<script type="text/javascript" src="galleryview/jquery.galleryview-2.1.1.js"></script>
See if that helps.
You only need noConflict if you're going to also use other libraries that are similar to jQuery like MooTools, Dojo or Prototype. It's unlikely you will need to & if you do, you will need to recode to use the jQuery function instead of the $.
The issue it appears you're having is that all these jQuery includes are overwriting the previous version of jQuery which the plugin attached to and thus the function no longer exists when you call it.
Why are you loading Jquery twice ?
First the 1.4.2 min file and then the full blown straight after ?
You still have multiple calls to jQuery (even if files are not in same directories).
In the same way, you call "galleryview/jquery.galleryview-2.1.1.js" twice (the second file is just packed).
By the way, my error console tell me that:
"Error: jQuery.timer is undefined
Source File: http://yungchoi.com/galleryview/jquery.timers-1.2.js
Line: 135"
Are you sure you need this timer plugin? For now, it seems you have too many script included. Try to remove all unneeded files (you should keep only one version of jquery. But if some plugins you used is not compatible with, you'll have more and more compatibility problems).
