webview.executeJavascript function cannot find jquery- Electron

Question

I am loading a webview and on dom-ready I execute a function inside the webview like this:

webview.executeJavaScript("$('body').css({'left': '" + left + "', 'top':  '" + top + "' })" );

The problem is that webview cannot find reference to $. But I have jquery in my project. What could be the problem ?

Check out this stackoverflow question . You might just need to tell webview that you want to execute JQuery with something like this:

webview.executeJavaScript("jquery:function($('body').css({'left': '" + left + "', 'top':  '" + top + "' }))" );
