Could not find Overlay: nofollow Created Oct 7, 2009

You are making all links with rel attribute to work as overlay triggers. one of them has a value nofollow. Porpably the one you are instructing web crawlers to stay away. Please specify a little more precisely the selector for triggers.

you win ! +1 Tero, sorry for this stupid question :-(

Error: uncaught exception: Could not find Overlay: nofollow

in jquery.tools.min.js

I am getting this error when i invoking jquery from the masterpage

I am using the below .js files and the following function ::

<script src='<%=ResolveUrl("../_ui/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" ) %>' type="text/javascript"></script>

<script src='<%=ResolveUrl("../_ui/js/jquery.tools.min.js" ) %>' type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(function() {
// if the function argument is given to overlay,
// it is assumed to be the onBeforeLoad event listener
$("a[rel]").overlay({

expose: 'black',
effect: 'apple',

onBeforeLoad: function() {

// grab wrapper element inside content
var wrap = this.getContent().find(".contentPopWrap");
// load the page specified in the trigger
wrap.load(this.getTrigger().attr("href"));
}
});
});

</script>

I've implemented the demo overlay code http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/overlay/external.htm) which in a masterpage and I get a similar error - Error: uncaught exception: Could not find Overlay: external.

I can see the overlay container on the page so i don't think that's the problem.

Can anyone shed any light on this error. I figure it's got to be due to being on the masterpage as the code works find on my site in a plain old html or even aspx page.

Thanks!

I know this thread is old, but I found it by Googling. So, I'm sure I won't be the last. Tero is right (post above). In my case, I implemented jQuery Tools in Joomla where there were several A tags with the rel="nofollow" attribute assignment. What I did (or had already done) was wrap my link inside a div tag and assigned it an ID. In the Overlay JS code, I changed my selector for the .overlay() function from

jQuery("a[rel]").overlay({ 

to

jQuery("div#benefits a[rel]").overlay({ 

My error went away, at least. I still can't get the demo code to work.. :(

Appreciate the date of this post, however since I hit it, I'm guessing even more will.

I presume that everyone is using

rel="elementId"

Instead reference it using a selector

rel="#elementId"

This should solve the problem
