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

User · Answer

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  lt script gt  tag into a section  and give it a name  the common name to use is  scripts     section scripts        lt script gt             JS code         lt  script gt      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

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      lt location path  Scripts  gt       lt system web gt         lt authorization gt           lt allow users      gt         lt  authorization gt       lt  system web gt     lt  location gt

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

Root problem is a ReferenceError   MDN indicates that a try catch block is the proper tool for the job  In my case  I was getting uncaught reference error for a payment sdk library  The below works for me   try     var stripe   Stripe  pk test ---------      catch  e        stripe   null     if stripe       we are good to go now     Obviously the fix is to load whatever SDK library  e g  jQuery  prior to calling its methods but the try catch does keep your shared JavaScript from barfing up errors in case you run that shared script on a page that doesn t load whatever library you use on a subset of pages

This can also happen  if there is network issue  Which means  that even though the   jquery scripts   are in place  and are included prior to usage  since the jquery-scripts are not accessible  at the time of loading the page  hence the definitions to the     are treated as  undefined references    FOR TEST DEBUG PURPOSES    You can try to access the  jquery-script  url on browser  If it is accessible  your page  should load properly  else it will show the said error  or other script relevant errors   Example - http   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 1 7 2 jquery min js should be accessible  on the browser  or browser context stances    I had similar problem  in which I was able to load the html-page  using scripts  in my windows-host-browser  but was not able to load in vm-ubuntu  Solving the network issue  got the issue resolved

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

There might be two issues   1  The JQuery might not have got loaded properly   You could test it using Chrome  Key in   or jQuery to check if it is loaded properly    2  This is based on my experience in some JQuery js which would have got bundled with other JS libraries  where   will not be supported and you are forced to use jQuery instead of   Check out for the below line in the js file that you have loaded in your project   window jQuery   window     jQuery    I see that by using http   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 1 10 1 jquery min js didn t work for me but I used http   code jquery com jquery-1 7 2 min js  Below is the only part in your code that I edited and it started working fine for me    lt script type  text javascript  src  http   code jquery com jquery-1 7 2 min js  gt  lt  script gt

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    lt script src    ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 1 9 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt    or any plugin for jQuery  Then put your custom script file link or code    lt script src  js custom js  type  text javascript  gt  lt  script gt

2 issues   Looks like your jQuery was not loaded properly   You generally see this error  Uncaught ReferenceError   is not defined   when jQuery was not properly included on your page   Try using jQuery from CDN and it should solve your problem  Replace    lt script src  JS jquery-1 10 1 min js  gt  lt  script gt    with the one from cdn   lt script src    ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 1 10 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt    NOTE  if you test from file system  you need to add the http  to the above URL or it will fail  Next your script file is before the HTML   So need to contain the code in DOM Ready handler     function             slider   cycle            fx       scrollHorz            speed    fast            next      next            prev      prev                    As far as I know  Slider  was referenced when I created the div Id    No it is not  If your script was included just before the body   then you may not enclose it in the Ready handler  But in your case it is present in the head  So when the script starts running that particular element is still not present in the DOM  Check Fiddle
