Error '$.type Is Not A Function Var Obj = $.type( Pref );' When Submit A Form In Jqgrid

Recently, I'm using jqGrid to represent my business data set, and I find out there edit/add/delete/view functionality with jqGrid, so I try to use it. but I encountered a problem a

Solution 1:

It's wrong to include two JavaScript files with implementation of the same module more as once. Moreover it's important to include JavaScript files in the correct order. Additionally you should not include any plugins which you don't use.

Typically one uses

i18n/grid.locale-en.js
jquery.jqGrid.src.js

during developing of some solution and uses

i18n/grid.locale-en.js
jquery.jqGrid.min.js

in the final solution. See the documentation.

One should include jQuery before any jqGrid JavaScript file. Including of ui.jqgrid.css and jQuery UI CSS is also required.

If you will have still an error you should post the exact line number of jquery.jqGrid.src.js where the error occurred. You should post more full JavaScript code which you use.

Solution 2:

I just encountered the exact same error message. I'm posting what worked for me in case it might help anyone else. I was getting the TypeError: b.type is not a function when trying to save from a form. The version of jqgrid I am using is 4.4.3, and I was calling an older version of jquery (1.4.2). Using a newer version of jquery (1.7.2 in my case) fixed the problem. I guess the function 'type' was not in version 1.4.2.

Solution 3:

Solved this problem. Just because of jqGrid doesn't support jQuery 1.9.
