Error in Javascript; Includes Fix

The footer.php in the root directory has a script tag in it. That script tag makes a common issue. They use $ to represent jquery. This is not acceptable (as is) in wordpress, as wordpress doesn’t define this by default. The $ has to change to a ‘jquery’ or you need to pass it as a param in a function.

			<script type='text/javascript'>
			jquery.ajax({
							url: dsidxAjaxHandler.ajaxurl,
							type: 'post',
							data: {
								'action':'dsidx_client_assist',
								'dsidx_action': 'LoadDisclaimerAsync',
								'params': '{$paramsToJS}'									
							},								
							success: function(response){
								jquery('#{$disclaimerPlaceholderID}').replaceWith(response);		
							},
							error: function(response){
									jquery('#{$disclaimerPlaceholderID}').replaceWith(response);
							}
						});
		</script>
