Using theme selector from examples in project

[jfkrueger]

I have the theme selector from the examples working great in one project, but now I am trying to start a new project and use it but am running into trouble. For some reason in the telerik.examples.min.js script, at the very top is this:

$(function () {
    var $t = $.telerik;
    var fx = $t.fx.slide.defaults();

but $t is always being set to undefined which causes the following error:

Unable to get value of the property 'fx': object is null or undefined

What am I missing? Perhaps it would help if I knew what this line of code is trying to accomplish:

var $t = $.telerik;

I am new to jquery so that assignment isn't making any sense to me, what is it trying to do?

Thanks!!

Is it expecting the namespace of my project to start with "Telerik"? I started a new project and named it Telerik.... (Something) and now it does not throw this error.

I would love to understand what is going on here.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Joe,

$.telerik is defined in telerik.common.js. This is a namespace in which some commonly used methods are defined, for example ones related to

- component client instance creatiion
- event binding and handling
- DOM and string manipulation
- cultures

If you need the code that you have included above, it should appear after telerik.common.js is registered.

Greetings,

Ahhh ha, that makes sense.
