Question

I have some simple javascript code that looks like this:

var divLink = $(this).attr("href");
alert(divLink);
if ($(divlink).is(":visible")) $(divLink).hide("blind", { direction: "vertical" }, 1000);

It throws this error on line 3:

Uncaught ReferenceError: divlink is not defined

I put in line two just to see what was in the variable divLink. It returns:

The page at mysite.com says:

#categories_settings

Once I click “OK” on the dialog box, it throws the error. How can this be?

Answer 1

JS is case-sensitive. Use divLink consistently, and not divlink.

That resolves the reference error. @epascarello’s answer solves other issues.
