Find Events dropdown not working on Firefox.

[alanrpratt]

The Find Events toggle doesn’t work on Firefox. It works on Safari and Chrome (not sure about IE). I have changed the theme to Twenty Twelve default which seemed to solve it. My theme is based on Twenty Twelve so it must be something I’ve done but I really can’t see what, and why it would only affect Firefox. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Alan,

I don’t see the same thing on other sites when visiting with Firefox – what I do notice on your site though is a Javascript error. It looks like it might relate to your theme:

TypeError: $ is not a function

And is in relation to this piece of Javascript:

$(document).ready( function(){
$('#header_image').innerfade({
type: 'random_start',
animationtype: 'fade',
speed: 3000,
timeout: 12000,
containerheight: '230px'
});
});

Does that help here?

Thanks for taking a look. I’ve switched that off now but it still doesn’t seem to work.

Are you sure? It now works for me if I visit using Firefox (I also see the error is resolved) and a colleague also using Firefox but a different OS confirmed the same … did you flush the browser cache before checking it out a second time?

If so and you are still seeing it can you confirm what operating system you are using and which version of Firefox? Thanks!

[alanrpratt]

Ok, I’ve cleared the cache but still get the problem.
I’m on Mac OS X 10.7.5 and Firefox 22.0.

…and checking the version of Firefox it has just updated itself to 23.0.1 and it still doesn’t work.

Ah ok, I can see that now – unfortunately nothing obvious is jumping out as to the reason why this isn’t working.

If as you say it works with a default, unmodified theme (which your own theme is built out of) can you try experimenting within a testing/development environment and remove custom elements or comment out any custom code and try to isolate things that way?

I am having the same problem on my site (http://www.grpl.org). I haven’t tried any different themes yet. I am using Delicious Magazine from WooThemes.

Hi Melissa, please do create a new thread as the underlying problem may be different in your case 🙂

@Alan: did you get any further on this one?

[alanrpratt]

Hi Barry, I haven’t had time to do as you suggested. As it is likely to only be affecting a limited number of users it isn’t top of my priority list.

[Barry]

OK – in that case I’ll go ahead and close this thread. Of course if you do want to take this up again any time please feel free to create a new one. Thanks!
