jQuery script in include file

Hi Jason,

I have a jquery dropdown menu and it of course contains the call to the jquery latest pack.
Then I have the main page that has a jquery slider. The main page uses the inlude plugin to get the navigation panel, but then the slider does not work because both pages are then calling the same latest pack script.

I tried to include the dropdown code on the main page and reference the include plugin but that does not work. Then I tried to remove the call to the latest pack from the main page thinking it would be called when the navigation panel loaded but that did not work either.

What would you advise?

thx
Eric

add the call to the script pack on the main page.

make sure it is on the main page in the head section just after the opening head tag.

if you continue to have problems, send a link where i can see it in the browser.

Thanks Jason!

I added it to just the main page, but just the slider works.

Here is the main page:
wmb/

Here is the include page without the call that is not working:
panel_nav.php

Here is the test include page that is functioning with the drop down:
panel_navDROP.php

Pages are also attached.

thx
Eric

viewing source of the main page shows the javascript for the menu duplicated:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

$("ul.subnav").parent().append("<span></span>"); //Only shows drop down trigger when js is enabled - Adds empty span tag after ul.subnav

$("ul.topnav li a").hover(function() { //When trigger is clicked...

//Following events are applied to the subnav itself (moving subnav up and down)
$(this).parent().find("ul.subnav").slideDown('fast').show(); //Drop down the subnav on click

$(this).parent().hover(function() {
}, function(){
$(this).parent().find("ul.subnav").slideUp('slow'); //When the mouse hovers out of the subnav, move it back up
});

//Following events are applied to the trigger (Hover events for the trigger)
}).hover(function() {
$(this).addClass("subhover"); //On hover over, add class "subhover"
}, function(){ //On Hover Out
$(this).removeClass("subhover"); //On hover out, remove class "subhover"
});

});
</script>

<link href="css/main-screen.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">


<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

$("ul.subnav").parent().append("<span></span>"); //Only shows drop down trigger when js is enabled - Adds empty span tag after ul.subnav

$("ul.topnav li a").hover(function() { //When trigger is clicked...

//Following events are applied to the subnav itself (moving subnav up and down)
$(this).parent().find("ul.subnav").slideDown('fast').show(); //Drop down the subnav on click

$(this).parent().hover(function() {
}, function(){
$(this).parent().find("ul.subnav").slideUp('slow'); //When the mouse hovers out of the subnav, move it back up
});

//Following events are applied to the trigger (Hover events for the trigger)
}).hover(function() {
$(this).addClass("subhover"); //On hover over, add class "subhover"
}, function(){ //On Hover Out
$(this).removeClass("subhover"); //On hover out, remove class "subhover"
});

});
</script>

make sure that scrip tag only occurs on the navigation page, and not on the main page.

I removed it completely from the index page so it is only on the navigation page, but the drop down still does not function.

thx
Eric

the error console is showing errors:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
dFailed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)

it looks like your page is putting jquery into compatibility mode:

//Tell jQuery not to take $
jQuery.noConflict();
//Create a short jQuery reference for convenience
$j = jQuery;

for the slideshow, but the menu is not using compatibility mode. both scripts will need to use compatibility mode, you can have one script using compatibility mode and the other not on the same page.

You are THE MAN!!

thanks Jason!!!

glad to hear it is working.
