JQuery works locally on 3.0 but not online

You’re backstretch script links are wrong and duplicated, and the document ready function for backstretch is wrong. And and you’re loading jquery twice.

loaded twice:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

bad and duplucate links:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery.backstretch.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://marconiband.com/wp-content/themes/marconi/js/jquery.backstretch.min.js"></script>

bad doc ready call:

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery.backstretch("https://marconiband.com/wp-content/themes/marconi/images/background1.jpg", {speed: 300});
});
</script>

Thanks songdogtech. But I was emailing with a guy from my hosting service and somehow the permission settings were off for the image. I don’t know how that happened. He fixed the setting and now everything is working correctly. But I would like to correct the things you mention. This is the first time I’ve used jQuery and I struggled with trying to get help in the Thematic forums until this code worked. In the functions.php file, this is what I have…

//Background
function background() { ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery.backstretch.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://marconiband.com/wp-content/themes/marconi/js/jquery.backstretch.min.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery.backstretch("https://marconiband.com/wp-content/themes/marconi/images/background1.jpg", {speed: 300});
});
</script>
<?php }
add_action('thematic_before', 'background');

How would you modify it?

Look at the function; you’re linking backstretch twice, once from root and once from the theme directory. And then you’re loading jquery from google in the function, but also – look at your page source – it’s alreading loaded from WordPress.
