How can I fix the "Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined" and "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <" errors on my Webflow site?

The "Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined" and "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <" errors are commonly encountered in Webflow when there is an issue with loading external scripts or dependencies.

To fix the "Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined" error, you need to ensure that jQuery is properly loaded on your Webflow site. One way to do this is by adding the jQuery script tag to the head of your site's custom code section. To add the script tag:

1. Go to your Webflow project and select the Page Settings (gear icon) for the specific page where the error occurs.
2. In the Page Settings panel, click on the Custom Code tab.
3. Paste the following code in the "Head Code" section:
```html

```

This code will load the latest version of jQuery into your Webflow site. Save the changes and publish your site to ensure the script is loaded.

If you're still seeing the error after adding the jQuery script tag, double-check if any conflicting scripts have been added on the page. These conflicts can occur if you have duplicate instances of jQuery or if another script is using a different version of jQuery that is incompatible with your code. In such cases, remove any conflicting scripts or ensure they are using the correct version of jQuery.

As for the "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <" error, this typically occurs when there is an issue with loading an external resource, such as a JavaScript file or stylesheet. The error suggests that the browser is trying to interpret HTML as JavaScript.

To fix this error, you can follow these steps:

1. Inspect the browser console to determine which file is causing the error. It usually indicates the file name where the unexpected token (the "<") is found.
2. Check if the file path to that script or stylesheet is correct. Ensure that the file exists on the specified path and that it is properly linked or imported.
3. If you are referencing the file using a relative path, ensure that the path is correct and that you are referencing it from the correct location.
4. It's also important to check if there are any typo errors in the file name or the URL. Verify that the file extension, if applicable, matches the file type you are trying to load (e.g., .js for JavaScript files, .css for stylesheets).
5. If you are using any external libraries or frameworks, make sure to include them properly on your site. Check for any errors in the library's documentation for proper setup instructions.
6. Finally, ensure that you are properly closing HTML tags and that there are no unclosed or mismatched tags in your code. These syntax errors can also cause unexpected token issues.

By following these steps, you should be able to address the "Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined" and "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <" errors on your Webflow site.
