Question

Object Expected error implementing jquery suckerFish menu

Answer 1

+1 A:

The 'object expected' error can occur when you are not including jQuery correctly. Do you have that 'jquery-1.4.1.js' file in the directory the src attribute is pointing to?

To test if this is the problem, try replacing your jQuery include with this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

That will request jQuery from Google's servers.

Edit:

If I use your example code and the jQuery include I mentioned above, I don't get that error. But you'll also need to include the

$.fn.hoverClass = function(c) {
return this.each(function(){
    $(this).hover( 
        function() { $(this).addClass(c);  },
        function() { $(this).removeClass(c); }
    );
});
};

part from your example. That defines hoverClass as a jQuery method (it is not part of that standard jQuery library).

That got rid of the object expected error. The menu works, but not like the tutorial. The tutorial has a nice fade effect that is not functioning. I get no errors and I still have the code implemented that you see above. Since there's no errors at this point I'm ever more at a loss then I was before. Also, using "../Scripts/jquery.js" worked instead of "~/Scripts/jquery.js" even though the webform.aspx and Scripts folder are in the same parent directory. Note that the extra code you included is in my code as well.

I downloaded the jquery.js file from the tutorial and the fade started working. I thought this file was just the import of jquery, but apparently it is not. It's just one function with a whole bunch of jibberish, but it works so yea...

@P.Brian.Mackey - Yes, mine must have worked the same way as your (no nice fade) until I included all the styles included on the example page. It looks like the css handles the show/hide of the menu items (and the styling of course), so you'll need that on your page.

@P.Brian.Mackey - cool, I'm glad you got it working.
