TypeError: $.event.handle is undefined


        

Answer 1

You are trying to use :

var $newElems = $( newElements ).css({ opacity: 0 });

as an element :

$newElems.imagesLoaded

Maybe this is the problem.

A solution would be :

 var $newElems = $( newElements );
 $newElems.css({ opacity: 0 });

Answer 2

The function has been deprecated: http://jquery.com/upgrade-guide/1.9/#other-undocumented-properties-and-methods

You can use $.event.dispatch instead.

In addition or alternatively to using the dispatch function you can add the Migrate plugin, http://blog.jquery.com/2013/05/01/jquery-migrate-1-2-0-released/, which will add back in $.event.handle so you able to fix the code without breaking the application.
