I am practicing event handling and have defined the following for an “On Click” on a button:

$(MyAlert).appendAlert("", "Hello World");
`

I have an “Alerts” Coach View in the Coach with an identity of “MyAlert”.  Unfortunately, when I click on the button, a browser side JavaScript error is produced.  The error is “$ is not defined”.  See the attached screen shot.  I am using latest IBM BPM 8.5.7 with Client Side Human Services.

Aha!! I found my error. I had coded:

$(name).method

when what I should have coded was:

${name}.method

Neil:

A mistake an old guy like me makes because he “thinks” the ( ) really is { }.  Small print is the bane of old age 🙂
