Question

JQuery does not seem to work in my Symfony2 project.

I use these 2 snippets to test JQuery in a twig html file and none of them is working:

    {% block myJavascript %}
    <script type="text/javascript">

    if (typeof jQuery != 'undefined') {
        alert('hi'); }


     $(document).ready(function() {
        alert('hi');
     });
    </script>
    {% endblock %}

This code alone is working meaning that Javascript is working

     alert('hi');

I have in my app/resources/view/base.html.twig

         <link rel="javascript" href="{{ asset('bundles/etiennepsav/js/jquery-1.8.3.js') }}" type="text/javascript" media="all" />

Referring to the jQuery files located in :

   app/src/Etienne/Bundle/PsavBundle/Resources/Public/js/jquery-1.8.3.js

Any ideas what’s wrong?
Is there a special config to set?

Answer 1

Javascript needs a <script> tag not a <link> tag in order to load in a page
