Hi,

I declared jquery and it works :

<script src="http://tmoodle.ulb.ac.be/pluginfile.php/2803/mod_resource/content/1/jquery.js" type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
>
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
alert(jQuery.fn.jquery);
// ]]>
// ]]></script>

Now I would like to use toogle with this code :

<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
$('#toggle1').click(function() {
    $('.toggle1').toggle();
    return false;
});
// ]]></script>
<p id="toggle1">Simple Div Toggle<br /><br /></p>
<div class="toggle1" style="display: none; background-color: #4cf; width: 100px; height: 100px;"></div>

I obtain this error :

 
detailed error: Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: &gt;ul
error source line:
 
 
throw new Error( "Syntax error, unrecognized expression: " + msg );
Have you an idea of how to resolve this problem ?
 
Thank you in advance for your help

Check the syntax ... wink

At least in your example the first script tag is not closed at all.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

This code is added by Moodle automaticaly :

// <![CDATA[

I don't know why.

My code seems to be right ?

Thanks in advance for help.

Could be a number of issues, such as jQuery not being loaded correctly, there being conflict issues with $, jQuery version conflict if multiple are loaded etc.  Does the script work OK in jfiddle or similar?

Moodle 2.x is using HTML5 and self-closing script tags don't work in HTML5. So I would add that missing </script> tag there ...

Hi David,

I'd recommend looking at the post the Darko linked. There's also appropriate documentation on the correct way of including jQuery in Moodle at http://docs.moodle.org/dev/jQuery.

It would help if you gave some information on how you generated the above code too.

Best wishes,
