does jQuery work in Lectora v17.1.1?

Not even sure how to fully explain this, but I cannot get jQuery code to work in v17.1.1. Has anyone else been able to?

I have a title that I built in v17.0.6 that includes the jquery-1.11.1.min.js library and some simple code on each page (at the title level). Now published in 17.1.1, each page fails on the first jQuery statement, $(document).ready, which throws an "object expected" error.

After some searches, I read that this may be caused by a jQuery.noConflict(). Sure enough, the latest version of trivantis.js has a line "if (window.jQuery) triv$ = jQuery.noConflict(true)", which is executed on every page. I tried replacing "$" in my code with "triv$" - this eliminates the error but does not execute the code.

I also noticed:

  • Pages with the default media player now have jquery-1.10.2.min.js included.

  • triv$ is used in trivantis.js and in trivantis-media.js.

Has anyone successfully added jQuery code to v17.1.1?

I have deliberately not upgraded to v17.1.1 because of the many issues i read here with it. Still at v17.0.6, and do think that was wise...

@TimK, Thanks, that works!

@CarlFink, I tried that but got errors loading pages that have the media player.

@Math, I was hoping 17.1.1 would resolve some issues I have in 17.0.6, but like many, I have found more issues instead of less. I'm writing jQuery code to see if i can resolve some of the issues I'm running into.

You can edit Trivantis.js if want and just remove that test ....

You can "Run javascript" on title level:

$ = triv$.noConflict();

undefined
