Question

I’m trying to clean up the html code on my site, so I moved the jquery code to an external js file. Almost everything works as before only a .get function stopped working.

$("#sle").live("click", function() {

    $.get("index.php", function(data){
        alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
    });


}); 

Any ideas?

Open your browser’s console and see if there are any errors. – Matt Ball 8 mins ago

Thats what it returns:dropdown.js:Uncaught TypeError: Object function $(id) { return document.getElementById(id); } has no method ‘get’ – Manuel 3 mins ago

The page is missing jQuery, or another function named $ is shadowing jQuery.

Try replacing replace $ with jQuery:

jQuery("#sle").live("click", function() {
    jQuery.get("index.php", function(data){
        alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
    });
});

However, if the error you commented on only appears when you try to use $.get() in the console, then you might be running into this issue in Google Chrome.
