I'm writing my own Drupal 7 module, and like to use JQuery in it.
$('#field').toggle();
But I'm getting this error:
TypeError: Property '$' of object [object DOMWindow] is not a function
It seems that JQuery is not loaded. Otherwise $ should be defined.
Though I actually include it in the header:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://rockfinder.de/misc/jquery.js?v=1.4.4"></script>
Do I have to do anything else to activate JQuery in Drupal? Is $ being overwritten by Drupal?
That's the website: http://rockfinder.orgapage.de
From the Drupal 7 upgrade guide:
Javascript should be made compatible
with other libraries than jQuery by
adding a small wrapper around your
existing code:
(function ($) {
// Original JavaScript code.
})(jQuery);
The $ global will no longer refer to
the jquery object. However, with this
construction, the local variable $
will refer to jquery, allowing your
code to access jQuery through $
anyway, while the code will not
conflict with other libraries that use
the $ global.
You can also just use the 'jQuery' variable instead of the $ variable in your code.
According to Firebug, your jQuery file is being loaded:
But the $
is being overwritten by something else:
What you should do is encapsulate the use of the $
variable with a function that invokes itself using the jQuery
object as it's first actual argument:
(function ($) {
// in this function, you can use the $ which refers to the jQuery object
}(jQuery));
Chances are your script is not initialized this way, you'll have to use Drupal.behaviors.YOURTHEMENAME
(function ($) {
Drupal.behaviors.YOURTHEMENAME = {
attach: function(context, settings) {
/*Add your js code here*/
alert('Code');
}
};
})(jQuery);
"$ is not a function" is a very common error that you may face while working with jQuery. You can try any answers of given below:
(function($){
//your can write your code here with $ prefix
})(jQuery);
OR
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
//Write your code here
});
Basically this will allow our code to run and use the $ shortcut for JQuery.
You can create the separate file for js and than add js file using the following:
drupal_add_js('path', 'module_name');
