This usually has to do with a selector not being used properly. Check and make sure that you are using the jQuery selectors like intended. For example I had this problem when creating a click method:

$("[editButton]").click(function () {
    this.css("color", "red");
});

Because I was not using the correct selector method $(this) for jQuery it gave me the same error.

So simply enough, check your selectors!
