For anyone else arriving at this question:

I was performing the most simple jQuery, trying to hide an element:

('#fileselection').hide();

and I was getting the same type of error, "Uncaught TypeError: Object #fileselection has no method 'hide'

Of course, now it is obvious, but I just left off the jQuery indicator '$'. The code should have been:

$('#fileselection').hide();

This fixes the no-brainer problem. I hope this helps someone save a few minutes debugging!

This usually has to do with a selector not being used properly  Check and make sure that you are using the jQuery selectors like intended  For example I had this problem when creating a click method       editButton    click function          this css  color    red          Because I was not using the correct selector method   this  for jQuery it gave me the same error   So simply enough  check your selectors

I had this problem  or one that looked superficially similar  yesterday   It turned out that I wasn t being careful when mixing jQuery and prototype  I found several solutions at http   docs jquery com Using jQuery with Other Libraries  I opted for  var  j   jQuery noConflict      but there are other reasonable options described there
