Modernizr.load is failing to load file

Question

I am working with foundation 5 but I don't think this is specific to just foundation as it's more of a javascript question.

In the head of my document I load a .js file modernizr.js

then at the bottom of the body of my file I am trying to use the javascript .load() function like this

<script type="text/javascript">
    Modernizr.load(function(){
        console.log('hello world');
    });
</script>

this is causing an 'Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function'

I am not really sure what's going on. The page still loads and the log message comes up as expected but I don't want to just move on with uncaught exceptions in my code.

What's the issue with this function and how can I overcome this obstacle?

Is Modernizr loaded before this code? It needs to be. Modernizr.load() is for loading OTHER resources AFTER Modernizr itself is already loaded. Doc here: modernizr.com/docs/#load — jfriend00

hi jfriend00 yes, modernizr was already loaded in the head of the document. This script is at the bottom of the body tag below the footer. — steffan

Please reproduce this in a simple jsFiddle then because what you are reporting doesn't make sense so apparently we don't understand what is really happening and thus need to see it reproduced. Also, what are you trying to acccomplish with that .load() line? Usually, you specify some resource to load. — jfriend00

In the jsFiddle, it's misspelled. Should be Modernizr, not Modernizer. When that is corrected, it looks like you don't have the .load() method in your build. — jfriend00

Modernizr Download

Make sure you ticked the Modernizr.load while downloading the modernizr js file.

EDIT: Modernizr.load which comes from yepnope.js is deprecated which is the reason why it is not included as a part of build by default. https://github.com/SlexAxton/yepnope.js#deprecation-notice

Quoted from the page : For these reasons, we're also not going to include yepnope in the next version of Modernizr as Modernizr.load.

Please try other alternatives for a better future of your app ;)

tejas_spy007, i've been using the cdn version, based on your message and then actually looking at the cdn version the .load() function is not included in the that file :\ it seems that I actually have to use the one downloaded from the site.
