Answer 1

A guess, but since you’re using the callback mode did you try adding callback config like in the example ?

    onTick: function() {},
    onSave: function() {},
    onCapture: function() {},
    debug: function() {},
    onLoad: function() {}

Also do have any error? Did you check with firebug ?

1/ Ensure you loaded the JS lib.

2/ Try to put them in document.ready :

$(document).ready(function(){
    // Your code here
});
