jquery / Javascript error

  1. I just upgraded to WP 3.3.1 and Gravity Forms 1.6.3.3.4

    Now, one of my forms throws a Javascript error:
    Message: Unable to get value of the property 'length': object is null or undefined
    Line: 61
    Char: 4
    Code: 0
    URI: [hidden]/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/js/jquery.textareaCounter.plugin.js?ver=1.6.3.3.4

    WP is using jQuery 1.7.1.

    I deactivated plugins and I still get the error.

    Any way I can make this error go away?

    Thanks,
    -Mark

    Since you have ruled out a plugin conflict have you tried temporarily switching to the twenty eleven theme to rule out a theme conflict, it could be one of the js files your theme is using that is conflicting with Gravity Forms.

  3. Thanks for replying.

    I'm using a customized theme based off of 2010 and cannot turn it off. What is this function for?
    function countByCharacters(){
    var content = container.val();
    var contentLength = content.length;

    I've commented out the call to this function and it has stopped the error for now.

    I know my theme uses the <div id=container>. Isn't that standard WP? I tried changing it to "containerTEST" and updated my css, but the error continued.

    I would like to resolve this without leaving a "hack" in the code.

    Thanks,
