Hi,

We are using the ACF plugin, but we are also hacking wp-admin to add functionality via our own plugins, some of which involves populating select boxes via AJAX based on user choices. Normally this wouldn’t present a problem; simply get the ID of the select box and…

TypeError: e is undefined
…}t.find(“.title h4″).text(acf.l10n.google_map.locating+”…”);t.addClass(“active…

I’m not sure if this is a bug or if I’ve missed some detail of the plugin or something but any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

J.R.

Hi @Nicetechnology

Can you use firebug to determine which element is selected by $("#acf-field-something")?

Perhaps it is also selecting a google map field, which is then causing the error when ACF can’t find expected DOM elements.

Thanks
