JQuery not detecting id element in partial view MVC4 C#

A few more possible errors:

• jQuery is not referenced in the page. To check this, open firebug, chrome dev tools or IE dev tools and check whether you have any errors
• A common error is to include the $(document).ready inside the view, and only reference jQuery at the bottom. This will generate an error because at that point $ is not known. Possible solutions:
  1. Move the code to an external file and reference that file after the jQuery inclusion
  2. Move your jQuery declaration to the head-section (not recommended as it will slow down the page load)
