Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function while using jQuery UI

I haven't used jQuery before, and I wanted to use DateTimePicker plugin on my web page.
I downloaded the plugin file and placed them in the same directory as the HTML files.
I directly applied the code at How to use it? in http://xdsoft.net/jqplugins/datetimepicker/.
It threw the following error.
Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function pixelcrawler:61 (anonymous function)
My code follows.
<script type='text/javascript' src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="file:///jquery.datetimepicker.css"/ >
<script src="file:///jquery.datetimepicker.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker();
</script>
<div class="container">
<div class="text-center">
<div class="page-header">
<h1>${conf['title']} <small>${conf['description']}</small></h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="text">
<input id="datetimepicker" type="text" >
.
.
.

.
I could not figure out what the problem was. I have tried many other seemingly likely options, but it just did not work either.
(The ${} tags are used for the Mako template language. I am using Cherrypy.)
UPDATE:
I figured out the source of the problem.
It's from jQuery('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker();.
When tested, the datetimepicker() function was undefined. Maybe the way I imported the library was wrong?

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#datetimepicker').datepicker();
})
I don't know your file-structure. I never include local files like this as I use relative URLs from the start rather than having to change everytime I'm ready to use the code, but it's likely one of the files isn't being loaded in. I've included the standard datepicker below using Google CDN's jQuery UI. Does your console log any resources not found?
I think your jQuery is loaded OK, because it's not telling you jQuery is not defined so it's one of your files.
BTW, PHP gets the home URL:
$home="http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/';
Demo code datepicker, jQuery UI:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" />
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#datetimepicker').datepicker();
})
</script>
<input id="datetimepicker" type="text">

This is about the HTML parse mechanism.
The HTML parser will parse the HTML content from top to bottom. In your script logic,
jQuery('#datetimepicker')
will return an empty instance because the element has not loaded yet.
You can use
$(function(){ your code here });
or
$(document).ready(function(){ your code here });
to parse HTML element firstly, and then do your own script logics.

use jQuery.noConflict()
var j = jQuery.noConflict();
j(document).ready(function(){
j('#datetimepicker').datepicker();
})

For my situation, it was a naming conflict problem. Adding $J solves it.
//Old code:
function () {
var extractionDialog;
extractionDialog = $j("#extractWindowDialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
appendTo: "form",
height: "100",
width: "250",
modal: true
});
$("extractBomInfoBtn").button().on("click", function () {
extractionDialog.dialog("open");
}
And the following is new code.
$j(function () {
var extractionDialog;
extractionDialog = $j("#extractWindowDialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
appendTo: "form",
height: "100",
width: "250",
modal: true
});
$j("extractBomInfoBtn").button().on("click", function () {
extractionDialog.dialog("open");
});
});
Hope it could help someone.

Usually when you get this problem, it happens because a script is trying to reference an element that doesn't exist yet while the page is loading.
As richie mentioned: "The HTML parser will parse the HTML content from top to bottom..."
So you can add your JavaScript references to the bottom of the HTML file. This will not only improve performance; it will also ensure that all elements referenced in your script files have already been loaded by the HTML parser.
So you could have something like this:
<html>
<head>
<!-- Style sheet references and CSS definitions -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- HTML markup and other page content -->
<!-- JavaScript references. You could include jQuery here as well and do all your scripting here. -->
</body>
</html>

You may see if you are not loading jQuery twice somehow. Especially after your plugin JavaScript file loaded.
I has the same error and found that one of my external PHP files was loading jQuery again.

The issue because of not loading jquery ui library.
https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js - CDN source file
Call above path in your file.

And if you have this problem in slider or slideshow you must use jquery.easing.1.3:
<script src="http://gsgd.co.uk/sandbox/jquery/easing/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script>

I had trouble getting selectable to work with ASP.NET. It turns out I wasn't properly including everything, but this gentleman made it foolproof: Three steps to use jQuery UI in ASP.NET MVC 5.

I don't think jQuery itself includes datetimepicker. You must use jQuery UI instead (src="jquery.ui").

Is there a way to use javascript code without using <script> tag?

So I'm working on my online portfolio using prosite.com and I created some simple hover thingy using javascript (http://wojtek.szukszto.com/index.html). The problem is prosite.com won't allow me to use < script > tag... Is there any way to do it? Maybe as an external html? I don't know... I'm not really good in coding, so any help would be appreciated.

You can have them as DOM Events like
<div onclick="alert('cat');">
I <strong>Really</strong> want a cat!
</div>
<body onload="//you can put a whole bunch of stuff here"></body>
(It is equivalent to window.onload = function(){ //stuff })

You can put your javascript code into external file and call in the head section of your html document
<head>
<script src ="/JS/yourjsfile.js"></script>
</head>
hope that your host allows you to call JS in the head section

The way I do it is by stating the type of script. The ProSite already has javascript integrated within itself. I use:
<script type="javascript"> Code-Goes-Here </script>

CKEditor baseHref not working and editor not working after minification/bundeling

I am developing a Web-Application using ASP.NET MVC 4 and I am trying to use CKEditor for some content editing.
In debug everything works fine as long as no bundeling or minification is happening, but as soon as this does CKEditor generates wrong URLs even if I have set baseHref:
CKEDITOR.replace('ckeditor',
{
autoUpdateElement: true,
baseHref: '#Url.Content("~/Scripts/ckeditor/")',
filebrowserImageUploadUrl: '/Uploads/Upload'
});
In debug the following is included:
<script src="/Scripts/ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>
And after bundeling/minifaction it is just:
<script src="/bundles/ckeditor?v=dLE-_JqB4vxXJ9idGep_8yUL8KfOwGhfYoEZAeIudoE1"></script>
and it trys to load the following JS files:
http://DOMAIN.net/CONTROLLER/ACTION/config.js?t=D26D
Which is wrong as it should be:
http://DOMAIN.net/Scripts/ckeditor/config.js?t=D26D
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or how to fix this?
Alternatively I would also be fine with a possibility to disable bundeling/minification for that one bundle to avoid that problem.

Try to add the following content before include the ckeditor's js file:
<script type="text/javascript">
var CKEDITOR_BASEPATH = '#Url.Content("~/Scripts/ckeditor/")';
</script>
More information: http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Developers_Guide/Specifying_the_Editor_Path
And it will also work with ckeditor 4.x.

I had similar problem but found this to work. Include it in the cshtml layout file.
<script>
CKEDITOR.basePath = "#Url.Content("~/lib/ckeditor/")";
</script>
or with JQuery
$(document).ready(function() {
CKEDITOR.basePath = "#Url.Content("~/lib/ckeditor/")";
});

I found that a similar approach to #bluee worked for me:
I put the following in my cshtml layout file:
<script type="text/javascript">CKEDITOR_BASEPATH = "#Url.Content("~/Scripts/ckeditor/")";</script>
#Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/ckeditor/ckeditor.js")
The subtle difference being using CKEDITOR_BASEPATH rather than CKEDITOR.basePath. This resolves the 'CKEDITOR is not defined' issue.

I met the same problem. In fact, the bundle system trouble the ckeditor loading. So you can avoid it doing the following :
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
#Scripts.Render("~/Script/CKEditor/ckeditor.js")
#Scripts.Render("~/Script/CKEditor/adapters/jquery.js")

How I can put mask Date and Time in TexBoxFor?

I'm working with ASP.Net MVC4 wiht view engine Razor. I like put mask date and time in TexBoxFor I installed for nugget jquery.maskedinput-1.3.min.js and add in the view
(document).ready(function () {
$("#FechaDen").mask("99/99/9999");
$("#HoraDen").mask("99:99:99");
});
But I have this error: Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'mask'
How I can resolve this problem?

You seem to have forgotted to reference the jquery.maskedinput plugin in your page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="#Url.Content("~/scripts/jquery.maskedinput-1.3.min.js")"></script>
Make sure that the path is correct and that the plugin is actually situated in this folder. Use the Network tab of a javascript debugging tool such as FireBug to ensure that there are no 404 errors with your script references.
Also make sure that you have added this script inclusion after jQuery. Be careful because in the ASP.NET MVC 4 Internet Project Template, the ~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml file renders jquery as a bundle at the end of the DOM:
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
#RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</body>
So if you are putting this reference inside your view make sure that this happens inside the scripts section:
#section scripts {
<script type="text/javascript" src="#Url.Content("~/scripts/jquery.maskedinput-1.3.min.js")"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#FechaDen").mask("99/99/9999");
$("#HoraDen").mask("99:99:99");
</script>
}
Also notice that since this script is now at the end of the DOM I have gotten rid of the $(document).ready call which is no longer necessary (and which you got wrong in the code you have shown because you forgot to prefix it with a $).

Uncaught ReferenceError $ is not defined

I'm very new to JavaScript (just started a few hours ago and trying to get a script working). I went through a few tutorials on W3 and the 'hello world' code works when I paste it directly into my HTML but I'm having a problem with a script (I've had problems with other scripts as well but I am not sure what I'm doing wrong).
I have this code that I want to test in my HTML, I copied the HTML in and it looks the same then I made a file in my static folder called edit.js and copied the JavaScript into it (exactly as shown). It didn't work no errors on the page but when I click it nothing happens. I tried to paste a W3 'hello world' code in and that worked but this script does not.
I tried to inspect the code in Chrome and that's where I see the above error (under the resources tab). I can open the js file using Chrome which makes me think the js file is accessible and pointing correctly but I'm not sure how to get it working. I'm using Jinja2 as my template engine to render the HTML and in my header I have:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="static/edit.js"></script>
and in my main template (the one that gets rendered on all pages) I have:
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
edit.js:
(even putting it within the script tag directly on the page I want to use it on doesn't work)
$('#editvalue').click(function(e){$('#storedvalue').hide();$('#altervalue').show();});
$('#savevalue').click(function(e){
var showNew = $('#changevalue').val();
$('#altervalue').hide();
$('#storedvalue').show();
$('#storedvalue span').text(showNew);
});​
HTML:
(it's embedded in a larger page)
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="static/edit.js"></script>
</head>
... my html code..
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="container">
<div id="storedvalue"><span>Hello</span> [edit]</div>
<div id="altervalue" style="display:none;"><input type="text" name="changevalue" id="changevalue" value="Hello"> [save]</div>
</div>
</div>
I have never been able to successfully run a JavaScript that wasn't on W3 yet. I get the same problem with other scripts even though I see people online saying they work fine for them. Do I need to do anything extra to make this work?
My two questions are:
What am I doing wrong?
Because Javascript seems to just not work when there's a problem, is there a way to get errors or information on what's actually wrong?
I read Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined? and have been trying to figure this out for the last hour and can't see my problem.

First you need to place the jQuery script tag first.
Second, you need to do one of the following things:
Put your code within this function:
$(document).ready(function(){/*CODE HERE*/});
Or like this:
$(function(){
/*CODE HERE*/
});
The DOM needs to be ready before you can use it. Placing your code within anonymous functions that are executed on the ready event of the DOM is how you can do this.
Edit:
$(function(){
$('#editvalue').click(function(e){$('#storedvalue').hide();$('#altervalue').show();});
$('#savevalue').click(function(e){
var showNew = $('#changevalue').val();
$('#altervalue').hide();
$('#storedvalue').show();
$('#storedvalue span').text(showNew);
});​
});

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Script tag for jQuery should come before your custom javascript.
Follow by edit.js
<script type="text/javascript" src="static/edit.js"></script>

Try removing the language attribute..sometimes work for me. It's obsolete now .. i think

You need to include jquery before you can use it.
