Generate Button not displayed

We recently received a report where the Password Control 'Generate' button was not displaying upon a users site. Instead the site was showing a Java error in the Java console that '.button' was not a valid function.

The specific code was known to be correct and runs successfully on many sites, so our immediate suspicion was that it was a Java conflict possibly caused by multiple version of the jQuery code being loaded upon the page. The only complication was this was that the '.button' function was part of the included jQueryUI plugin, not the jQuery plugin.

After investigation by the site owner and ourselves, it was indeed discovered that there were multiple versions of jQuery being loaded.

The use of a third party plugin named jQuery Easy successfully merged all of the various jquery versions and the problem was resolved and the button displayed as intended.

We were aware of this plugin, but had not previously had any experience in its usage. We are therefore happy to pass this piece of informtion as a possible solution on to our users who may experience a similar problem in the future.

Thanks are given to René Balke for his reporting the problem and providing the solution.
