I had to look a little more to solve my problem but what solved it was finding where the error was  Here It shows how to do that in Jquery s error dump  In my case id was empty and    quot   quot    id    produces the error  It was where I wasn t looking so that helped pinpoint where it was so I could troubleshoot and fix it

The  double quote     single quote  combo is not needed  console log        d        single quotes only console log        d        double quotes only   Your selector results like this  which is overkill with the quotes        abc       - gt  it ll try to find   lt div id    abc   gt      In css  this would be the equivalent    abc      Wrong         instead of   abc     Right
