I found this to be the trouble I am having - however it is localized to only my development server (localhost in this case)
Using firebug I have confirmed that the jquery.js script is not being found when I load the page via localhost/domain/jquerytest.htm. However all the other js files are loaded correctly. Also on the server the jquery.js file is located and served correctly. Anyone have any ideas what I could be missing on my local machine that would cause this one js file to not be found? thanks, Chris On Aug 20, 9:24 pm, Karl Swedberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This error appears when the core jQuery fie is not included, either > because there is no script tag with a src attribute pointing to it or > because the src attribute is pointing to the wrong place.
