I cannot understand why the code below is giving me this error in firebug
$ is not defined
Can someone explain?
<script type="text/javascript" >
$(document).ready(function(){
setTimeout2(function(){
$("#errormsg4").fadeOut("slow", function () {
$("#errormsg4").remove();
}); }, 5000);
});
</script>
<div id="errormsg4">test</div>
As you said $ is not defined that means you have not given the reference of jquery script file before using your script code. Also I think you had mistyped setTimeout2,it would have been setTimeout.Try below code
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="errormsg4">
test</div>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
setTimeout(function()
{
$("#errormsg4").fadeOut("slow", function()
{
$("#errormsg4").remove();
});
}, 5000);
});
</script>
</html>
