Loading MOST javascript at the bottom of a page is best practice. Loading the core jQuery library itself? Only doable if you have 100% control over the site such as when using sites that use no CMS (ie. hardcoded HTML). Plugins and Themes that rely on jQuery are going to run into an issue if they try to do something expecting jQuery to already be loaded and it is not there. Default WordPress and the themes it ships with place jQuery in the header and that is what plugins are designed for. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/error-messages-dont-show-on-ajax-submissions#post-25300 Wed, 11 May 2011 11:45:14 +0000 TheCosmonaut 25300@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Gotcha - That makes sense!</p> <p>One question: Since loading JavaScript in the bottom of a page is considered a best practice, I'm wondering if there's a way to force all Gravity Forms scripts to load in the footer too... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/error-messages-dont-show-on-ajax-submissions#post-25277 Wed, 11 May 2011 10:58:51 +0000 Carl Hancock 25277@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You are getting a Javascript error. See this screenshot: <a href="http://grab.by/a6qQ" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/a6qQ</a></p> <p>The problem is you are calling jQuery in your Footer.php and not your Header.php.</p> <p>The AJAX call uses some inline jQuery that requires jQuery to be loaded in order to execute. Because your jQuery is loaded in your Footer.php that means jQuery is loaded AFTER this script tries to execute, causing an error.</p> <p>You need to move your jQuery call to your Header and not your Footer.</p> <p>You also may run into a problem because you are using Google's API to call jQuery instead of using the jQuery that ships with WordPress. We haven't tested with Google's API because it relies on the version of jQuery that ships with WordPress. I'm not saying it will cause a problem, just that it might cause a problem.</p> <p>But your issue is where you are calling jQuery. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/error-messages-dont-show-on-ajax-submissions#post-25258 Tue, 10 May 2011 20:54:23 +0000 TheCosmonaut 25258@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Having a weird issue: When submitting via Ajax, no error messages display. Everything displays fine when not submitting via Ajax. If I check via Firebug, it looks like the HTML is getting added to the page but the iframe does not display. Also checking via Firebug I don't see any javascript errors. I've tried disabling all plugins and still no joy. You can see the form at <a href="http://lumenergi.dreamhosters.com/contact/" rel="nofollow">http://lumenergi.dreamhosters.com/contact/</a></p> <p>Is there a typical cause for this type of thing? </p> <p>Thanks in advance,<br /> --eric </p>
