First steps with Javascript: trying to debug

Question

Hi,

i have added to the beginning of my code this great script below.

<script type="text/javascript">

alert("pippo");


</script>

And it works: when i load the page it shows a small window with "pippo".

If i I add this below after the alert:

    $(document).ready(function()
    // validate signup form on keyup and submit


    $("#foo").validate({
        rules: {
            'telephone[number]': {
        number: true
            }
        },
        messages: {
            'telephone[number]': "Please enter a telephone number"

        }
    });
});

and reload the page it doesn't show "pippo" any more..Why?

Regards

Javi

Answer 1

$(document).ready(function() { // <-- missing opening {
    // validate signup form on keyup and submit


    $("#foo").validate({
        rules: {
            'telephone[number]': {
        number: true
            }
        },
        messages: {
            'telephone[number]': "Please enter a telephone number"

        }
    });
});

Look at the first line, works fine when fixed.

Answer 2

$(document).ready(function() {

was missing at the beginning

Answer 3

It's because you must have some invalid code which is failing to be parsed by the engine, first step: do you have jQuery loaded?

Answer 4

You have a syntax error, missing { after function(). Also, make sure that you have included jquery.

Answer 5

That is because your program has a syntax error of missing { after $(document).ready(function()
