"Uncaught TypeError: a.indexOf is not a function" error when opening new foundation project

css, google-chrome, javascript, jquery, zurb-foundation

Solution

This error might be caused by the jQuery event-aliases like `.load()`, `.unload()` or `.error()` that all are deprecated since jQuery 1.8. Lookup for these aliases in your code and replace them with the `.on()` method instead. For example, replace the following deprecated excerpt:

$(window).load(function(){...});

with the following:

$(window).on('load', function(){ ...});

Problem

I've created a new Foundation 5 project through bash, with `foundation new my-project`. When I open the index.html file in Chrome an `Uncaught TypeError: a.indexOf is not a function` error is shown in the console, originating in `jquery.min.js:4`. I created the project following the steps on the foundation site, but I can't seem to get rid of this error. Foundation and jQuery look like they are included and linked up correctly in the index.html file, and the linked app.js file is including `$(document).foundation();` Does anyone know what is causing this error? and what a solution might be?
