Quite often I am getting the error above per the subject line.
The piece of code that this is thrown at is as follows (the function in the else section).
if ($('#clicktosnap').is('.disabled'))
{
alert ("Please enable the camera first, then press allow on the dialog above.");
}
else
{
webcam.capture();
}
I have tried moving the code in a beginning script tag and at in the end as well (pre and post initialization with no joy) the things is that this doesn't happen all the time so I am confused, it seems to happen when I first visit the page and then it normally goes away after the first refresh.
I have tried to compare the source when this works and when it doesn't and it is exactly the same..
Whole code below:

I had the same issue and I used this workaround:
document.getElementById('XwebcamXobjectX').capture();
document.getElementById('XwebcamXobjectX').save();
That should have a similar effect.
