I am trying to use the taxonomy Picker example from Office PnP.

I just want to bind one field to one managed metadata term.

The errors I got are here: http://screencast.com/t/nOaTusUH4V

The code I have is:

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />

    <div id="divSPChrome"></div>
    <div class="container">      
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-8">
                <h2>Create project site</h2>
                <form class="form-horizontal" role="form">

                        <div class="col-sm-10">
                            <input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputEmail3" placeholder="Project name">
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label for="inputPassword3" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Domain</label>
                        <div class="col-sm-10">
                            <input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputPassword3" placeholder="Domain">
                            <div class="ms-core-form-line" style="margin-bottom: 0px;">
                               <input type="hidden" id="taxPickerContinent" />

                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </div>

As you can see I have the hidden field. And my App.js file is:

// variable used for cross site CSOM calls
var context;
// variable to hold index of intialized taxPicker controls
var taxPickerIndex = {};

//Wait for the page to load
$(document).ready(function () {

    //Get the URI decoded SharePoint site url from the SPHostUrl parameter.
    var spHostUrl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPHostUrl'));
    var appWebUrl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
    var spLanguage = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPLanguage'));

    //Build absolute path to the layouts root with the spHostUrl
    var layoutsRoot = spHostUrl + '/_layouts/15/';

    //load all appropriate scripts for the page to function
    $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'SP.Runtime.js',
        function () {
            $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'SP.js',
                function () {
                    //Load the SP.UI.Controls.js file to render the App Chrome
                    $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'SP.UI.Controls.js', renderSPChrome);

                    //load scripts for cross site calls (needed to use the people picker control in an IFrame)
                    $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'SP.RequestExecutor.js', function () {
                        context = new SP.ClientContext(appWebUrl);
                        var factory = new SP.ProxyWebRequestExecutorFactory(appWebUrl);
                        context.set_webRequestExecutorFactory(factory);
                    });

                    //load scripts for calling taxonomy APIs
                    $.getScript(layoutsRoot + 'init.js',

                                    //$('#taxPickerKeywords').taxpicker({ isMulti: true, allowFillIn: true, useKeywords: true }, context);

                                    $('#taxPickerContinent').taxpicker({ isMulti: false, allowFillIn: false, useKeywords: false, termSetId: "51f18389-f28a-4961-a903-ee535f7c620d", levelToShowTerms: 1 }, context, initializeCountryTaxPicker);
                                    taxPickerIndex["#taxPickerContinent"] = 0;

Type is defined in the MicrosoftAjax.js file. You can get access to it by using the following script tag to get it from the aspnet CDN:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/4.0/1/MicrosoftAjax.js"></script>

You do not need the ScriptManager.
