When i try to use the simple highcharts example, I get the error:

Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function 

In addition to :

My code is the simple example on the highcharts website:

  <script src=".8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script>
$(function () {

  $('#container').highcharts({
    chart: {
      type: 'bar'
    },
    title: {
      text: 'Fruit Consumption'
    },
    xAxis: {
      categories: ['Apples', 'Bananas', 'Oranges']
    },
    yAxis: {
      title: {
        text: 'Fruit eaten'
      }
    },
    series: [{
      name: 'Jane',
      data: [1, 0, 4]
    }, {
      name: 'John',
      data: [5, 7, 3]
    }]
  });
});

</script>

I've also tried the version where the first line inside is

var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({

When I print out what Highcharts is, it goes give me the right object. jQuery is loaded and working. What else can I try at this point?

• javascript
• jquery
• html
• highcharts

• Could you replicate your exampel as live demo ? – Sebastian Bochan Commented Nov 10, 2014 at 11:26

You need to load JQuery before highcharts.

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.highcharts./highcharts.js"></script>

Okay, this issue was actually really straightforward. There was a script tag loading highcharts in earlier code and it was conflicting with the injection in this line.

If you see this error, check if highcharts had been injected already.
