jQuery loading issues within wordpress
- by Chase
I am having a couple problems trying to manually insert some jQuery features into a wordpress theme. I have a lightbox wordpress plugin that is jQuery based that is working fine.
So if I manually load the jQuery script into wordpress the functions seem to work but instead of say a slide being hidden it is revealed when it should still be hidden. Or a pop up that should work is already being shown instead of hidden. I don't think I'm supposed to manually include the jQuery into my skin but using the wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); doesn't seem to be resolving my issues either.
<script src="http://platform.twitter.com/anywhere.js?id=i5CnpkmwnlWpDdAZGVpxw&v=1" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".btn-slide").click(function(){
$("#twitpanel").slideToggle("slow");
$(this).toggleClass("active");
});
});
</script>
<div id="tweetit"><a class="btn-slide">Tell em'</a>
<div id="twitpanel"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
twttr.anywhere(function (T) {
T("#twitpanel").tweetBox({
height: 100,
width: 225,
defaultContent: "Some Random Text"
});
});
</script>
</div></h2>
Like I said it works but in the reverse fashion that it should be.
I think I'm just loading in something wrong?
TIA,
Chase
