谷歌标签管理器没有引用 jQuery？ “$ 不是函数”

Question

Going to start off by saying I have very limited experience with JS and jQuery, so I'm flailing around a bit here.

I've got a GTM custom HTML tag that uses jQuery to grab the text from label/legend elements associated with a specific error message class, and push each one to the dataLayer for event handling:

 <script type="text/javascript" id="error-push"> jQuery( document ).ready(function() { var errMsgs = document.getElementsByClassName("error_message"); for (i = 0; i < errMsgs.length; i++) { var assocLabel = $(errMsgs[i]).closest(".field_error").find(".field_label").text(); if(assocLabel) { dataLayer.push({'field-error': assocLabel}); } } }); </script>

I can get the function to run no problem when tested directly in my browser console. But when I run it via GTM, I get an Uncaught TypeError:

Uncaught TypeError: $ is not a function
    <anonymous> https://example.com/form/?gtm_debug=1661509869380 line 348 > injectedScript:1
    jQuery 2
        e
        t
register:1:218

At first I thought that GTM was just firing the script before jQuery was loaded, so I included an extra line at the top of the script in GTM to check for it:

<script type="text/javascript" id="error-push">
  typeof window.jQuery !== 'undefined' ? console.log(window.jQuery.fn.jquery) : 'jQuery not found!'
  jQuery( document ).ready(function() { ...

...And the console is returning "3.6.0", indicating that jQuery is loaded when the function runs. So where is the TypeError coming from?

Answer 1

My personal practice for Google Tag Manger is not using jQuery within it.

Because it will have so many error that not sure why it comes up.

In your case:

I suggest you use the trigger Dom Ready . From what I know it is quite the same when you want to fire something as jQuery( document ).ready(function() {}
