I've run out of ideas here. I keep getting the same error no matter what I do.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.header-container').sticky();
});
I have jquery.js file before the sticky.js file also.
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/js/jquery.sticky.js"></script>
Here's the full browser error:
(anonymous function) @functions.js:241
j @functions.js:2
k.fireWith @functions.js:2
m.extend.ready @functions.js:2
J @functions.js:2

20,981 PointsI had this same problem. I solved it by using the latest versions of jQuery (3.2.1) and Sticky (1.0.4) instead. In the video (and in the project files), Dave uses jQuery 1.11.2 and Sticky 1.0.0, which by now are couple of years old at least.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/animsition/jquery.animsition.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery.sticky/1.0.4/jquery.sticky.js"></script>
<script src="js/main.js"></script>
I used cdn but you could download the files and add them to your project folder, obviously.

Not sure if you're trying to hide your actual site domain or not but that ends up giving a 404 error. sticky.js is never loaded because you're pointing to a source that doesn't exist.

6,936 PointsHmmm. Then these are the only other things that I can think:
1) Did you double check your file path? 2) Since it's on a private website, are the file permissions set properly? 3) You can also try using https://api.jquery.com/jquery.getscript/. You shouldn't load the script that way but you can see if sticky.js is being loaded at all.

35,206 PointsI Hou Tong Looks like I solved the problem. When I reversed the javascript files it worked. I don't know why, but it does. I thought based on the tutorial, jquery should come before sticky, but not in my case.
I wonder if there's something else broken on my code.
I Hou Tong
6,936 PointsGlad you got it to work, but something is definitely wrong. sticky.js seems to be a jQuery plugin which means it would require jQuery to be included first before including sticky.js. Only way it would work is if you have jQuery included elsewhere, before you include sticky.js.
