Thread: Help using Jquery on skin template

Hello,

I am new to asdnsf and jquery. I have made a duplicate of template.ascx and name it home.ascx. I also have the script references to the jquery js files. I have tried referencing both by using src="jquery-1.3.2.js" & src="skins/Skin_(!SKINID!)/scripts/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js". I have made a copy of the files and have them both in the root of the skins folder and in a scripts subfolder, but neither seem to work. What I would like to try and implement is a simple jquery accordian widget. I copied the code from the example and works in example but not the home.ascx file that I copied it to. I then loaded an alert script to make sure that is was firing properly, so I added this
<script type="text/javascript">
$("document").ready(function() {
alert("The page just loaded!");
});
</script>

When the page loaded nothing happened. I am using ML Express, so not sure what else I can do to make it work.

Thank You

We have the full ML 8.0.1.2 version and we've tried JQuery 1.3.2 and it works fine on Firefox and IE6 SP3, IE7 & IE8, but crashes IE6 SP2. When I launch IE6 SP2 and go to the site, it just closes the app without warning. When I removed all javascript references, it's running fine without crashing. So if IE6 compatibility is an issue, it looks like JQuery and ML8012 does not mix very well, which is a shame, because JQuery is a fairly mature framework.

I was just trying it in Firefox and Chrome, had not yet tried in IE6, I would add a script reference to skin template, then add the simple accordian script. Then added code to homepage and nothing would happen. Any suggestions you can offer would be most appreciated.

Thanks
