I’m getting this error and it is originating from jquery framework.
When i try to load a select list on document ready i get this error.
I can’t seem to find why i’m getting this error.
It works for the change event, but i’m getting the error when trying to execute the function manually.
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘toLowerCase’ of undefined -> jquery-2.1.1.js:7300
Here is the code
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#CourseSelect").change(loadTeachers);
loadTeachers();
});
function loadTeachers() {
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: '/Manage/getTeachers/' + $(this).val(),
dataType: 'json',
cache: false,
success:function(data) {
$('#TeacherSelect').get(0).options.length = 0;
$.each(data, function(i, teacher) {
var option = $('<option />');
option.val(teacher.employeeId);
option.text(teacher.name);
$('#TeacherSelect').append(option);
});
},
error: function() {
alert("Error while getting results");
}
});
}

When you call loadTeachers() on DOMReady the context of this will not be the #CourseSelect element.
You can fix this by triggering a change() event on the #CourseSelect element on load of the DOM:
$("#CourseSelect").change(loadTeachers).change(); // or .trigger('change');
Alternatively can use $.proxy to change the context the function runs under:
$("#CourseSelect").change(loadTeachers);
$.proxy(loadTeachers, $('#CourseSelect'))();
Or the vanilla JS equivalent of the above, bind():
$("#CourseSelect").change(loadTeachers);
loadTeachers.bind($('#CourseSelect'));

I had the same problem, I was trying to listen the change on some select and actually the problem was I was using the event instead of the event.target which is the select object.
INCORRECT :
$(document).on('change', $("select"), function(el) {
console.log($(el).val());
});
CORRECT :
$(document).on('change', $("select"), function(el) {
console.log($(el.target).val());
});

This Works For me !!!
Call a Function without Parameter
$("#CourseSelect").change(function(e1) {
loadTeachers();
});
Call a Function with Parameter
$("#CourseSelect").change(function(e1) {
loadTeachers($(e1.target).val());
});

It causes the error when you access $(this).val() when it called by change event this points to the invoker i.e. CourseSelect so it is working and and will get the value of CourseSelect. but when you manually call it this points to document. so either you will have to pass the CourseSelect object or access directly like $("#CourseSelect").val() instead of $(this).val().

It fails «when trying to execute the function manually» because you have a different ‘this’. This will refer not to the thing you have in mind when invoking the method manually, but something else, probably the window object, or whatever context object you have when invoking manually.

your $(this).val() has no scope in your ajax call, because its not in change event function scope
May be you implemented that ajax call in your change event itself first, in that case it works fine.
but when u created a function and calling that funciton in change event, scope for $(this).val() is not valid.
simply get the value using id selector instead of
$(#CourseSelect).val()
whole code should be like this:
$(document).ready(function ()
{
$("#CourseSelect").change(loadTeachers);
loadTeachers();
});
function loadTeachers()
{
$.ajax({ type:'GET', url:'/Manage/getTeachers/' + $(#CourseSelect).val(), dataType:'json', cache:false,
success:function(data)
{
$('#TeacherSelect').get(0).options.length = 0;
$.each(data, function(i, teacher)
{
var option = $('<option />');
option.val(teacher.employeeId);
option.text(teacher.name);
$('#TeacherSelect').append(option);
});
}, error:function(){ alert("Error while getting results"); }
});
}

Hi all, I’m new to Shopify coding. I’ve been trying to handle this JS error for a while but couldn’t solve it.
Here’re the error messages:

In productpage, it keeps showing warning «Each dictionary in the list «icons» should contain a non-empty UTF8 string field «type».» I’m not sure where should I look into….
Below are the code lines where error messages happened:
//when load show related image only
var altvl = $(".HorizontalList__Item:first-child").children("input").val().toLowerCase();
& if ((e = a.apply(n, r)) === o.promise())
function l(i, o, a, s) {

r = [e]),
(s || o.resolveWith)(n, r))
}
}
I would very much appreciate your advice and help or even just share the similar problem you encounter, thanks in advance! If I need to provide more details about the error, please leave a comment and I’ll do it ASAP.
The String.toLowerCase() function in JavaScript converts the entire string to lower case. The toLowerCase() function does not affect any of the special characters, digits, and alphabets already in the lower case.
JavaScript string toLowerCase() is a built-in function that returns the calling string value converted to lower case. The toLowerCase() function does not accept any parameter. Instead, the new string representing the calling string is converted to a lower case.
Syntax
string.toLowerCase()
Arguments
The toLowerCase() function does not take any arguments.
Return Value
The toLowerCase() method returns the value of the string converted to lower case. The toLowerCase() function does not affect the value of the string itself.
Example
Let’s define a string using single quotes and then convert it into lowercase.
// app.js let strA = 'Avengers will be a great movie'; console.log(strA.toLocaleLowerCase());
The toLowerCase() function does not take any arguments.
It merely returns the new string in which all the upper case letters are converted to the lower case.
Run the file by the following command.
node app
See the output below.

This is how you can convert Javascript Strings To Lower Case.
See the following more examples of converting all the string characters to lowercase.
// app.js
console.log('AppDividend'.toLocaleLowerCase());
console.log('KrunalLathiya'.toLowerCase());

Convert elements of the array to lowercase
To convert an array of elements to lowercase in Javascript, use the combination of join(), toLowerCase(), and split() methods.
let arr = [
'MILLIE',
'NOAH',
'FINN',
'SADIE'
]
let str = arr.join('~').toLowerCase()
let finArr = str.split('~')
console.log(finArr)
See the output.
➜ es git:(master) ✗ node app [ 'millie', 'noah', 'finn', 'sadie' ] ➜ es git:(master) ✗
In the above code, we have used the Javascript join() method, the mixed-case array into a string, lowercase it, then Javascript split() the string back into an array.
The above method could cause performance issues if you have a large amount of data in the array.
TypeError: Cannot read property ‘toLowerCase’ of undefined
If you pass the string as an undefined, then you will get this TypeError: Cannot read property ‘toLowerCase’ of undefined.
See the following code.
let str = undefined let res = str.toLowerCase() console.log(res)
See the output.
➜ es git:(master) ✗ node app
/Users/krunal/Desktop/code/node-examples/es/app.js:3
let res = str.toLowerCase()
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined
at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/krunal/Desktop/code/node-examples/es/app.js:3:15)
That’s it for this tutorial.

toLowerCase() is a method, you miss the bracket at the end of toLowerCase in your code.
self.filtercustomers = ko.computed(function () { var searchText = self.search().toLowerCase(); if (!searchText) { return self.customers(); }-

Hi Nusij03,
You have miss bracket for your toLowerCase method,just like below:
var str = "Hello World!"; var res = str.toLowerCase();
not
var res=str.toLowerCase;
Here is link which you can refer to :

РешениеHeaven_Lord,OMG, у вас ошибка в условиях циклов, вместо (var i = 0; i <= siteLenReal; i++) надо (var i = 0; i < siteLenReal; i++), и в другом цикле соответственно
ЕМНИП JavaScript просто вернёт undefined. Не будет брошено исключение обращения за пределы списка, типа «OutOfRange». в консоли пишет:
