Simple way to disable jQuery on web page containing many edits?
Is there a simple way to turn jQuery on or off on a page containing many edits?
The reason I ask is that I have three pages that use jQuery and validate() on forms where users are given input. The various edits on the second and third form work just fine but none of the edits on the first form seem to be working. It's not that their are coding bugs making some of the edits work incorrectly: NONE of the edits seem to take place.
It's hard to remember details from several years back but I think I might have done something to disable the whole kit and kaboodle in some simply way - NOT by commenting out all the code - making the edits inoperable for several years now. I never noticed because I know how to enter the data correctly without causing errors and the others in my club didn't mention it to me. I suspect I disabled the edits temporarily for testing and simply forgot to turn them back on.
I've done side-by-side comparisons of the first and second forms using the side-by-side compare editors in Eclipse but nothing like an on/off switch is jumping out at me. But that's my best guess as to what happened.
Is there a simple way to enable/disable jQuery on a given web page? If so, how to I do it?
