I am getting the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: $.tiggle_toc is not a functiononclick @ 195:189

The code calling tiggle_toc is onclick: "$.tiggle_toc()" in a Rails link_to. Here is the javascript (cofeescript) which defines tiggle_toc:

  $.tiggle_toc = () ->
    console.log('TOGGLE TOC')
    $('.toc_level2').toggle()

  $('#toc_toggle').click ->
    $.tiggle_toc()

In another place I have

%span{title: 'Hide/show subsections', id: 'toc_toggle'}= link_to ETC

Thus clicking on this element in the browser will call tiggle_toc. This works just fine.

The mystery (for me) is why in one case the call to tiggle_toc succeed whereas in another case it does not.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you using Rails4 and is `tiggle_toc` inside a call to `$(document).ready()`? – James Hibbard Aug 23 '15 at 11:45
Yes (Rails 4.0), `tiggle_toc` is inside `ready ->` which is called by `$(document).ready(ready)`. – jxxcarlson Aug 23 '15 at 15:30
Could it be something to do with this? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17600093/rails-javascript-not-loading-after-clicking-through-link-to-helper – James Hibbard Aug 23 '15 at 15:46
