 * I’m having problems with my upgrade to 3.0. I even did a clean install and still
   have the problem. I’m getting this error in javascript:
    TypeError: Result of
   expression ‘jQuery(domChunk).live’ [undefined] is not a function. It is in load-
   scripts.php on line 73. Because of this I can’t move widgets around. Can anyone
   help?

 * That line in** load-scripts.php** is..
 *     ```
       function site_url() {}
       ```
   
 * It’s an empty function, i can’t see that being the source of your problem, load-
   scripts contains several empty functions.
 * What browser are you using? Have you tried another?

 * I get the error in Safari and Firefox. The code the error is happening on is 
   this:
 *     ```
       function tb_init(domChunk){
           jQuery(domChunk).live('click', tb_click);
       }
       ```

 * That’s a thickbox function, it doesn’t run on the widget page (i’ve just checked
   on my install), so how did you come to relate this function to your issue using
   widgets?

 * Actually, the error shows no matter which page I load in admin. So, it prevents
   most javascript functions from operating such as loading the news feeds on the
   Dashboard. I just happened to notice the problem on the widgets page when I tried
   to move one.

 * The thickbox script should only be loading on given pages, not including the 
   widgets page.
 * Try turning off concatenation and script compression to see if that helps, done
   by adding the following to your wp-config file.
 *     ```
       define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);
       ```

 * Hi all,
 * I got the same problem after I just installed the 3.01 >>
    - I can’t drag and drop anymore my widgets on the dashboard page,
    - I can’t drag and drop my widgets on the widget page
    - Modalboxes doesn’t show anymore. The whole page is loaded in the browser instead.
      Quite annoying on the article pages when I try to insert an image
 * Surprisingly, I can drag and drop menus on the menu page
 * I tried Mark’ solution
 *     ```
       define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);
       ```
   
 * in my wp-config.php but nothing changed.
 * All my plugins are disabled.
    This is a network installation.
 * Here is the console log on the dashboard:
 *     ```
       load-scripts.php:2 ReferenceError: Can't find variable: jQuery
       load-scripts.php:58 TypeError: Result of expression 'jQuery(domChunk).live' [undefined] is not a function
       ```
   
 * Any ideas ?

 * I think – on my case – this problem has something to do with the multi site update:
   
   every blog I created after the update don’t have the javascrpit problem. My “
   legacy” blog is the only website where the problem described by macmage in the
   first post occurs. I guess this has something to do with the path (I had to fix
   the upload image folder path for the legacy blog).
