I can connect to my Smoothieboard via the webpage and see the controls but none of the buttons work. Also sending a command does nothings. I am using Ubuntu 14 and have tried both Firefox and Chrome Browsers.
thank you

Have you checked the developer tools of your browser?
They show you if a resource (javascript, etc.) cannot be loaded.
Or maybe a plugin like NoScript is active?!
I thought of that and did some poking around but nothing jumped out telling me what wasn’t working. I will dig some more later tonight.
Thanks
Finally got back to my printer. I am getting a Reference Error $ is not defined. I believe it is looking at Functions.js.
I am not sure where to look now.
Thanks
That’s probably because the jquery libraries aren’t being loaded. $ is the name of the main jquery function.
The library is loaded in a line near the top that references “script dot jquery dot com” (sorry, had to spell it out or the forum wouldn’t let me post it because it’s a link)
Check to see if your computer can load that file, one way is to view the page source in firefox and simply click on the link to code.jquery.com.
Cheers,

If the non loading of jQuery does turn out to be the problem then check out the google groups smoothieware support group, thread title “web interface issue” from jan 18th for a discussion on making the web i/f load JQuery from a local copy on the SD card.

jquery was the issue of not loading. I had to install it on my laptop since the laptop cannot get to the internet via wireless while I am connect to the smoothie on a hardwire switch. I am still learning Linux (Ubuntu) and need to do some network configuration homework.
I loaded it as a Firefox Add in by the way
Thank you
