Uncaught TypeError: $(...).size is not a function

Question

I'm using a plugin to insert an image from the file manager, however I'm getting an error:

imagebrowser.php?func=addImage&w=160&h=120:77 Uncaught TypeError: $(...).size is not a function
  at addImage (/site/dashboard/load.php?id=i18n_gallery&create:564)
  at submitLink (imagebrowser.php?func=addImage&w=160&h=120:77)
  at HTMLAnchorElement.onclick (imagebrowser.php?func=addImage&w=160&h=120:53)
  addImage @ /site/dashboard/load.php?id=i18n_gallery&create:564
  submitLink @ imagebrowser.php?func=addImage&w=160&h=120:77
  onclick @ imagebrowser.php?func=addImage&w=160&h=120:53

The JavaScript code I'm using:

    <p><em><b><?php echo count($filesSorted); ?></b> <?php i18n('TOTAL_FILES'); ?> (<?php echo fSize($totalsize); ?>)</em></p>
  <p><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="submitAllLinks()"><?php i18n('i18n_gallery/ADD_ALL_IMAGES'); ?></a></p>
  <?php // foreach ($metadata as &$m) if (!@$m['title']) $m['title'] = basename($m['url']); ?>
  <script type='text/javascript'>
    // <![CDATA[
    var metadata = <?php echo json_encode($metadata); ?>;
    function submitLink(i) {
      var item = metadata[i];
      if(window.opener){
        window.opener.<?php echo $func; ?>(item['url'], item['size'], item['width'], item['height'], item['title'], item['tags'], item['description']);
        <?php if ($autoclose) { ?>window.close();<?php } ?>
      }
    }
    function submitAllLinks() {
      for (var i=0; i < metadata.length; i++) {
        submitLink(i);
      }
    }
    // ]]>
  </script>

This is what I suspected as the main error reason after investigation:

if ($('#tick').size() > 0) {

But replacing it with length didn't resolve the issue.

Answer 1

Do not use $(...).size(), it is deprecated as of jQuery 1.8. Use the .length property instead.

For more information see .size() | jQuery API Documentation

After replacing size() with length, it turned out that the actual problem is reference to non-existnent element. This implies that undefined is indeed not a function.
