timer = setInterval(function ()

Answer 1

I ran into this problem on my machine, as was able to find a quick fix. Here's what I did:

1.Debugged my javascript with nickf's suggestion "alert(typeof $)" and got the "undefined" alert message

2.I then fully qualified my jQuery script resources.

3.Reload my page and received the "function" alert message

BTW, I am using IIS 5.1 on XP. My website is configured to use "Wildcard mapping" to take advatage of the asp.net mvc framework. I think that this configuration caused the broken links.
