$(function(){....}) not firing when logged in

Permalink
I'm using a script (slider.js) that includes a function that is supposed to fire when the DOM is loaded. This works fine when I'm not logged in. However, when logged in the script loads but the 
$(function(){....})
doesn't fire. Any idea what could be causing this? Firebug console shows no errors.

I resolved this after reading:http://api.jquery.com/ready/. It was some kind of jQuery namespace conflict.

Changing the function call to: 
jQuery(document).ready(function($){..}
avoids the conflict.

This problem may have been caused by you including the jquery files on your own -- these are already included by C5 so if you also include them yourself it creates namespace issues like you've described.

Thanks for this.

I'm using a function that is not available in the standard jQuery files so I had disabled the loading of jquery.js and loaded jquery.1.4.2.js. Maybe it would have been better to just extend the old jquery script with the function of 1.4.2 I needed.

What do you mean by "a function that's not available in the standard jQuery library"? Like it's in a newer version of jQuery or a plugin? If it's a plugin you can just include that as a separate file -- no need to roll it into core jQuery. If it's something in 1.4.2, you could upgrade to Concrete 5.4.1 which now includes that version of jQuery.

I meant the function I needed was only available in a newer version of the jQuery ('core').

I noticed the new version of Concrete includes it and I no longer have to load the jQuery 'core' library manually.

Great!

Thanks,
