Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'unobtrusive' of undefined

I am getting this error in the Chrome JScript debugger. It happened when I switched to the Microsoft CDNs for the scripts below.

I'm not sure how to work around this save, not using the CDNs anymore.

jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js:5 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'unobtrusive' of undefined

Solution

  • Another reason this error can occur is if you load the unobtrusive script before jquery.validate.

    So, 

    <script src="/scripts/jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    is OK, but:

    <script src="/scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/scripts/jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    will give the "Cannot set property 'unobtrusive' of undefined" error.
