So everything was working just fine and great until doing npm update and now things do not work quite as they used to.
A little background: in my code I use jquery
I plopped this on the top of my Node.js (server) file that uses jQuery to help render html text ...
var jsdom = require("jsdom").jsdom; jsdom.env({ html : "", done : function(errs, window) { global.window = window; } });
and everything comes up roses.
