Question

I’m trying to implement the jQuery Cycle Plugin on a project, but it’s throwing the following error (and failing to initialize):

Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'cycle'

I’m using jQuery version 1.8.0 and the plugin is version 2.9999.6.

I’m done a bit of Googling around, but I can’t see many references to this error and the ones I have found don’t seem to be relevant. Any nudges in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

Should be using src= instead of type= in your <script> tag:

<!-- Add Cycle Plugin -->
<script src="js/plugins/jquery.cycle.all.js"></script>

Alternatively you can load the script with jQuery if you want it to be non-blocking:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $.getScript('js/plugins/jquery.cycle.all.js', function(){
        $('.feature').cycle({ fx: 'fade' }); 
    });
});
</script>
