Uncaught TypeError: $.post is not a function

JavascriptJquery

Javascript Problem Overview


I am getting this error in Console:

>Uncaught TypeError: $.post is not a function

for this piece of code:

I just couldn't find anything wrong in this. Why is this not working, any clues?

However, $('#cl_stage1msg').html('Processing...'); is working fine.

Seems like only the post function is not getting recognised.

I am using https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.slim.min.js

Solution 1 - Javascript

You are using the slim version of jQuery, which doesn't include the Ajax methods (in your case $.post()).

Use the non-slim build, available here http://jquery.com/download/, such as:

https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js


From jQuery 3.0 release post:

> Slim build > > [...] Sometimes you > don’t need ajax, or you prefer to use one of the many standalone > libraries that focus on ajax requests.[...] Along with the regular version of jQuery that includes the > ajax and effects modules, we’re releasing a “slim” version [...], it excludes ajax, effects, and > currently deprecated code.

Solution 2 - Javascript

If you use jquery slim version then this problem will occur. use minified or uncompressed version of jquery js file
