Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined problem

I've tried pasting the code copied from the code pen site below in the vault, but it doesn't work. I wonder why it's not working. What do I have to do to make it work? The CSS source code was imported using Viw compiled. Does this matter?

Code Pen Address https://codepen.io/dodozhang21/pen/vNOmrv

Error :

249 Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined

It says this is the problem.

var $form = $("#imageUploadForm"),

Solution

  • You have to import jquery in your HTML file, do this before you import your own scripts. This is one source to import jquery: <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    Here you can find more info about jquery: https://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_get_started.asp
