Question

Answer 1

A:

I don't think it's possible to answer this question without seeing your code, almost in it's entirety. Just a thought though, what order have you got your includes in the <head> of your document?

Should be (if just using jQuery, for example)

jquery
jquery ui
other plugins
your code

Have you checked whether jQuery and node.js conflict? A good way to approach doing that is to implement functionality from one library first, then start adding functionality / plugins from another library bit by bit - then you'll see where it breaks and can investigate further. But as I said, very difficult to exactly determine the problem without seeing and testing your code.

In relation to

have no clue to why this would happen randomly

well, JS errors, if there's a lot of them and some of them are fundamental (like library conflicts), will look random, because a lot of functions are trying to execute and so the error that your debugging catches may be different each time.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. The load sequence is as you pointed out. Express being build on node and is supposedly includes jquery, having a hard time figuring out if there's a conflict.. Will try to turn things off untill it goes away.. Thanks again!

Downgrading to 1.3.2 fixes this..

Makes sense. Some 'compatible' libraries and jQuery plugins won't work with the latest version. Glad you found the answer - make sure you tick your answer as the correct one...

Answer 2

A:

Jquery 1.4.2 and jquery UI 1.8 are not stable releases and this appears to be a bug. The newer versions perform smoother and better but the errors always involved those two libraries. Downgrading removes the issue, but costs performance, not as smooth etc.
