# 3.5 causing major jQuery and JavaScript errors

 * I have a site where 3.5 is causing some really bizarre jQuery errors.
 * I am developing a site here:
    [http://ally2.alchemycs.com](http://ally2.alchemycs.com)
 * On the home page, in the middle where it says “Screenings,” there is a box with
   scrollbars. The site should be using jScrollPane to make the scrollbars match
   the design of the rest of the site. It worked fine before 3.5, but when I upgraded
   to 3.5, it broke and jScrollPane no longer works. Now I get an error message:
   `
   Error: Permission denied to access property 'toString'` This error message is
   caused by the embedded Vimeo video. If I take that out, I get a new error message:`
   Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [type="text/javascript"],not([type])`
   That message is caused by modernizr.js, so if I disable that, I get a new error
   message: `Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [type="text/javascript"],
   not([type])` It says that this error occurs in line 2 of jquery.min.js, which
   is being served by Google, so I know it doesn’t have errors in it.
 * In 3.4.2, this doesn’t happen. In 3.5, it does. Disabling all of the plugins 
   doesn’t fix it.
 * Any suggestions for what to do next?

 * Sorry to tell you this but WordPress 3.5 does not have the jQuery conflict, it
   is plugins and themes or persons who hack them.
 * As the above comment doesn’t contribute to this old thread, I’m going to close
   it.
