jquery 3.0 url.indexOf error

Question

I am getting following error from jQuery once it has been updated to v3.0.0.

jquery.js:9612 Uncaught TypeError: url.indexOf is not a function

Answer 1

Jquery 3.0 has some breaking changes that remove certain methods due to conflicts. Your error is most likely due to one of these changes such as the removal of the .load() event.

To fix this you either need to rewrite the code to be compatible with Jquery 3.0 or else you can use the JQuery Migrate plugin which restores the deprecated and/or removed APIs and behaviours.
