Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'overlay'

Question

Why do I get this error from my overlay jquery code?

This is the code:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

    // if the function argument is given         


        

Answer 1

"Could not find Overlay: nofollow" is caused by using a non-specific css selector to find the links you want to attach your overlay to.

Including the javascript properly was the correct answer to the initial question... I came to this page based on the Overlay: nofollow issue in a comment.... since this is the first thing I found and didn't find an answer I wanted to comment here since I found it is caused by the css selector finding other uses of .. and there isn't a nofollow overlay...

assuming 'overlay' is the id of your div as in the following:

   < !-- the external content is loaded inside this tag -- >
   

you should be doing something like:

 $("a[rel=#overlay]").overlay(

instead of:

 $("a[rel]").overlay(
