Mitchell, a good way to debug jQuery or JS in general is via a tool called Firebug, that is available as an extension for the Firefox browser.
In your case, it probably would have said something like "fade is not a method of jQuery", which would have immediately helped you diagnose the problem. It is hugely popular with folks using jQuery or JS. Here's the link to get it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843 -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: Mitchell Waite To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2007 10:36 AM Subject: [jQuery] Are there any particular ways to debug jQuery code? Noobie question 99 Are there any particular ways to debug jQuery code? I have a small handler $("#nest").click(function() { alert("got it"); $("#nest").fade("slow"); }); It's called by a click on a div with an id="nest". The click will make the alert go off but the fade wont work. For the life of me I can't get any affects to work on the #nest div. It's like something is interfering with the fade function. No affects work. I just don't know how to systematically track this down. Mitch
