Ways to correct a jQuery error

Recently stumbled upon this code snippet on codeply and decided to try it out in Visual Studio. Oddly enough, everything appeared fine on the snippets page, but when I ran it on my own computer, I encountered this https://i.sstatic.net/wmGII.png. It's puzzling why this discrepancy exists. Additionally, an error message popped up:

script.js:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined at script.js:1
Despite having installed jQuery, the error persists. I attempted different methods of installing jQuery from various sources, yet the issue remains unresolved.
$('.carousel[data-type="multi"] .item').each(function() {
    var next = $(this).next();
    if (!next.length) {
        next = $(this).siblings(':first');
    }
    next.children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));

    for (var i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
        next = next.next();
        if (!next.length) {
            next = $(this).siblings(':first');
        }

        next.children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));
    }
});

    .carousel-inner .active.left { left: -100%; }
    .carousel-inner .next        { left:  100%; }
    .carousel-inner .prev        { left: -100%; }
    .active > div { display:none; }
    .active > div:first-child { display:block; }

}
@media (min-width: 767px) and (max-width: 992px ) {
    .carousel-inner .active.left { left: -50%; }

    .carousel-inner .prev        { left: -50%; }
    .active > div { display:none; }
    .active > div:first-child { display:block; }
    .active > div:first-child + div { display:block; }
}

    .carousel-inner .active.left { left: -25%; }
    .carousel-inner .next        { left:  25%; }
    .carousel-inner .prev        { left: -25%; }

Answer №1

The code snippet you provided includes a reference to script.js, but it is currently commented out.

<!-- <script src="assets/script.js"></script> -->

However, the error message you received indicates a ReferenceError related to this specific file.

If in your actual test code you have enabled or uncommented script.js, and the order of your scripts matches what you shared, then this could be causing the issue. If your script.js file uses jQuery, make sure to place the "script.js" script tag after all other script tags (especially jquery.min.js).

In the code snippet above, you have placed script.js first. If this file relies on jQuery (and is included before jQuery), the error regarding $ being undefined may occur as mentioned in the error message.
