Question

Im trying to use the movingBoxes plugin with my asp.net mvc site and it is not working (obviously).
I have the movingboxes.js imported in my head tag in the site.master like so

    <script src="<%: Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.movingboxes.js")%>" type="text/javascript"></script>

and the browser successfully gets this script. Now i have a regular view that inherits from the site.master that has this little bit of jquery in it that calls the movingBoxes plugin

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $($('#slider-one'));
        $('#slider-one').movingBoxes({
            startPanel: 1,      
            panelWidth: .5,     
            fixedHeight: false
        });

        $('#slider-two').movingBoxes({
            startPanel: 1,     
            panelWidth: .5,     
            fixedHeight: false
        });
    });
</script>

When i view the page. Every thing works fine (including other jquery stuff) except for this plugin and i get this error

And here is the description of the error

Any help would be appreciated

EDIT

So apparently I had this:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js" />
    <script src="<%: Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.movingboxes.js")%>" type="text/javascript"></script>

And it works now by changing it to this:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js"></script>
    <script src="<%: Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.movingboxes.js")%>" type="text/javascript"></script>

There are a few things you can try to get this working.

1. Be ABSOLUTELY sure your script is being pulled into the page, one way to check is by using the ‘sources’ tab in the Chrome Debugger and searching for the file.

2. Be sure that you’ve included the script after you’ve included jQuery, as it is most certainly dependant upon that.

Other than that, I checked out the API and you’re definitely doing everything right as far as I can see. Best of luck friend!

EDIT: Ensure you close your script tag. There’s an answer below that points to that being the solution.
