Question

So I’ve read a couple of these errors and it is apparently because people do not link to the scripts correctly, but I think my links are fine.

Here’s the snippets:

in default.js (to reduce clutter) I ALSO TRIED JUST PUTTING IT ON THE HTML WITH SCRIPT TAGS.

//character counters
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.count1').jqEasyCounter({  //Error here: default.js:147 Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'jqEasyCounter'
        'maxChars': 500,
        'maxCharsWarning': 50,
        'msgFontSize': '10px',
        'msgFontColor': '#F00',
        'msgFontFamily': 'Arial',
        'msgWarningColor': '#000'
    });
});

and the references:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery.jqEasyCharCounter.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="scripts/default.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="scripts/history.js"></script>

<!-- jQuery -->
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
            src="scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
 <!-- jQuery UI -->
 <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
            src="scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.18.custom.min.js"></script>
 <!-- jQuery UI CSS -->
 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/smoothness/jquery-ui-1.8.18.custom.css" />

Firebug/Chrome Inspect Element is finding the javascript files for it which should be jquery.jqEasyCharCounter.js and default.js.

Any suggestions? Thank you

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>

should be the first script to load, move it to the top before:

<script ...src="scripts/jquery.jqEasyCharCounter.js"></script>
