Thread

dealing with https and http and wanting to avoid code clutter by doing https/http evaluation I decided to add the jquery framework to my local installation (template system)

Version of Expression Engine: 1.7.0

Integrating the minified version of the latest jquery 1.6.2:

<script type="text/javascript" src="{path="scripts/google_jquery_1_6_2_min"}"></script>

using firebug shows that the local jquery is loading alright.
if I check for jquery being installed : $() I get a NULL object ...
additionally firebug gives me an error in the console:

Syntax Error:
[Break On This Error] les”]=u;o=l=g=h=m=j=a=i=null;return k}...asData:function(a){a=a.nodeType?f.cach (google_jquery_1_6_2_min on line 16)

It didn't matter if I use a simple copy/paste of the jquery code to the template or actually using the original downloaded jquery file from the cdn.

The fun thing is the local UNCOMPRESSED (non minified) jQuery Version works!!!

Is there any funkyness going on in regards of parsing, it seems EE does something in the background. If I call the minified version through the google live link it works without issues:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

thanks !

PixelGrinch,

To confirm,. You are saying the following does not work for you either?

< script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.min.js">< /script>

Do you have a physical folder called scripts in your root?

In your Output and Debugging settings can you confirm that you have the debug preference set to 1

Hi John,

thanks for the reply, I just found out by accident somebody has responded to this thread. Sorry about the delay ...

Outside the template system the jquery always works! The the way you call it works. But saving the jquery as a javascript template file does not work ...
This really makes no sense ... I also tried this on ExpressionEngine 2 as well. Outside the template system it works fine once you save it as a template and try to call it, it is screwed up.

Hi PixelGrinch,

A similar thread came up for EE2.x recently. It looks like it may be running into this issue

Our advice would be to go the way of a static file or CDN for now while the devs work on a fix for the EE.2x release.

Hey John,

thanks for the quick reply ... I ended up referring to a static file on the server ... the company doesn’t want to pull it from a cdn ...

looking forward to the fix 😊 ...

thanks !

No problems. I’m going to close this one out for now but feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
