Can someone help me troubleshoot why my jQuery code is not working on my Webflow page but works in Codepen and the console?
If your jQuery code is not working on your Webflow page but works in Codepen and the console, there are a few potential issues that you can troubleshoot. Here are some steps to help you identify the problem and resolve it:
Check for jQuery conflicts: Ensure that you have included the jQuery library correctly in your Webflow project. Make sure that you are using the correct version of jQuery and that it is included before any other JavaScript code that depends on it. Also, check for any other JavaScript libraries that may be conflicting with jQuery and causing issues.
Verify jQuery selectors: Double-check your jQuery selectors to ensure that they are targeting the correct elements on your Webflow page. It's possible that the elements you are trying to manipulate with jQuery have different IDs, classes, or structure compared to your Codepen or console environment.
Verify DOM readiness: Make sure that your jQuery code is executed after the DOM (Document Object Model) has fully loaded. You can do this by wrapping your code inside the
$(document).ready(function() { ... })or the shorthand$(function() { ... }). This ensures that your code is executed only when the DOM is ready and all elements are accessible.Check the browser's console for errors: Open the browser's developer console and check for any JavaScript errors that may be occurring on your Webflow page. If there are any errors, address them accordingly and retest your code.
Disable custom code conflicts in Webflow: If you have any custom code or interactions set up in the Webflow Designer, try disabling them temporarily to see if they may be causing conflicts with your jQuery code. Sometimes, certain Webflow interactions or custom code can interfere with external JavaScript libraries.
Confirm script loading order: Ensure that your jQuery code is loaded after the jQuery library itself. If you are using a script tag in your HTML, make sure it appears after the jQuery library. If you are using an external JavaScript file, check that it is being loaded after the jQuery library.
By going through these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with your jQuery code not working on your Webflow page.
