Question

I am trying to hide/show elements in a view using following code:

$('buttonClass/IDhere').click(function (){
$('theDivYouWantToShowClass/IDhere').toggle();
});

However, I am keep getting

Microsoft JScript runtime error: '$' is undefined

What might be the issue and how do I fix it?

$ is defined by default when you load jquery. I would try and use jquery() to see if somehow $ is being unloaded etc. You can also load up firebug and hit the page. It should show up as a global variable/function. NOTE: You can also setup jquery to not setup the short hand “$”.
