JavaScript function not firing off for owlcarousel-rails plugin

Rails
1

The javascript is not working for ‘owlcarousel-rails’ plugin. I have the
gem and require statements for application.css/application.js setup
properly.

//= require owl.carousel
*= require owl.carousel
*= require owl.theme

I called the plugin with:

        <script type= 'text/javascript' >
          $(".owl-carousel").owlCarousel();
        </script> in my <header></header>
<%= image_tag 'JohnsPhotos/weekend-getaway1.jpg' %>
<%= image_tag 'JohnsPhotos/weekend-getaway2.jpg' %>
the tags for the plugin are mid page in the

Why isn’t the javascript/css displaying the photos?

          $(".owl-carousel").owlCarousel();

if you’re calling that method before any such elements exist in the
DOM, I’d expect exactly nothing to happen :slight_smile:

Have you looked at the JS console/log to see if there are errors?

Can you test this gem to see if it’s working on Ruby on Rails 4 for you?
It’s not even showing the images that are inside of the div tags.
Normally, it would even if the JavaScript was acting up.

I’ll try to call it after the div code block, and then see if the
function
fires off.

Carousel Placeholder

<%= image_tag 'Photo1'%
<%= image_tag 'Photo2'%>

I was calling an ID instead of a class with the initializer. Now, it’s
working perfectly!! Thank you all for taking the time out to guide me.

View the source of the page in the browser to get a clue as to what is
going on.
