jQuery and WordPress Theme/Plugin Development
-
After toying around with Prototype, I decided to take a look at jQuery and in particular the jQuery Validation plugin:
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation
I have hit a snag with loading the built-in version of jQuery using
wp_enqueue_script('jquery'). The$()functions return “property does not exist” errors. I noticed in the header of the Admin pages that they make a direct call tojQuery()to work with the dashboard feeds.My workaround so far has been to just load in a vanilla version of
jquery.js, but I am curious if there is a general guideline for using jQuery in WordPress plugins or themes that would differ from the native documentation and tutorials.Page in question: http://stephenyeargin.com/contact/
