    Now that I have your attention, would you kindly visit https://cannacle.com/dashboard/new-grow then look in your inspector or firebug. Do you see "ReferenceError: $ is not defined"?

    I'm only loading a single instance of jQuery and no other libraries, I've removed them. But it seems that, for me, at my node on the interweb, either the jQuery file isn't being loaded/read or it has errors or I'm losing my beans.

    I'm running FF Developer Edition 41.0a2

    If I'm losing my beans, feel free to let me know.

    This question has been answered by sottwell. See the first response.

      UPDATE:
      The browser will load and run CDN files but not local javascript files. Permissions are set to 644 on the javascript files.

      Could it be permissions? In chrome inspector I can see the files and they are apparently being downloaded.

      Could this be a hosting issue?

      Banging my head against the wall didn't help either. I tried that. smiley

        I like beans, but only on Wednesdays.

        I see 
        Uncaught TypeError: $(...).textcounter is not a function

        jQuery is fine

          AH ha! I have updated the code to use a CDN. But, I see you are also getting the same error as I am.

          I have quadruple checked the location of the javascript file that is creating the textcounter function. It's there.

          https://cannacle.com/assets/js/textcounter.min.js

          However, it will not run in the browser, in any browser. I've tested it on every device in the house. It used to run fine and I haven't changed it at all. Perplexing.

          What in the name of Thursday's beans could be causing this atrocity?!

          I'm also getting

          TypeError: $(...).datepicker is not a function


          Which is a function in the file here

          https://cannacle.com/assets/css/jquery/jquery-ui.min.css

          Which is also available and not being run by any browser I have here on any device. Haven't done a thing to the file. Downloaded it from the jqueryui.com website and uploaded it straight-away.

          I'm in a major quandary. I'm losing my beans!

            Try troubleshooting, might be incompatibility issues.

            Load a few of those JS files ..see what happens

                You are a lifesaver, Susan!

                That's exactly what was wrong. Too long staring at code, not enough time using the tools available.
