This is my example code in which i am trying to implement the dropbox chooser. I have created an app and i do pass the app key. The errors i encounter are,

Initially on page load, i get the error that $(...).on is not a function.
When i click on the dropbox chooser button, i get {"error": "Invalid origin"}.

I am not getting where i am going wrong. Any help will be appreciated.

I ran into, and was able to resolve, this same issue today. The Dropbox Chooser functionality does not support file browsing unless the script is running on a web server. If you are testing your web app locally and are accessing it via a file:// link, you will get the 'invalid origin' error. Instead, run a web server (either locally or hosted somewhere else) with your web app on it, and that should eliminate the error.
