What can cause “jsf is not defined” error in browser console

Question

Hi I got a simple fresh project based on MyFaces 2.0.11 with Primefaces 3.0 on Tomcat 6

When I\'m trying to navigate to a page I\'m getting Uncaught ReferenceE

This script will only be auto-included whenever you use <f:ajax> in the view. If you don't, then it won't be auto-included.

Just add an extra check before you call jsf.ajax.addOnEvent:

if (typeof jsf !== 'undefined') {
    jsf.ajax.addOnEvent(someFunctionName);
}

Or, explicitly include the library by <h:outputScript> on the proper library, like as you already did.
