jQuery(...).yiiGridView is not a function

Question

I have a problem with Yii grid view. for some reason it does not seem to load correctly, even though the script is included (i can see it in the source code). This is the header part of the HTML:

<script src="fileadmin/static/js/jquery-1.8.3.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/module/public/assets/80c0553/gridview/jquery.yiigridview.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">jQuery(function($) {
 jQuery('#grid-downloads').yiiGridView({'ajaxUpdate':['grid-downloads'],'ajaxVar':'ajax','pagerClass':'pager','loadingClass':'grid-view-loading','filterClass':'filters','tableClass':'def-table','selectableRows':1,'enableHistory':false,'updateSelector':'{page}, {sort}','filterSelector':'{filter}','pageVar':'page'}); 
 });
</script>

I get the Error: TypeError: jQuery(...).yiiGridView is not a function

Any ideas where the problem may lie?

Answer 1

I found the issue.

Actually the problem was, somehow i got jquery included 2 times in the page - the 2nd time in the footer, that is why I did't find our earlier.

Jquery needs to be only 1 time in the page, and it needs to be in the header.
