I'm having trouble implementing Google Tag Manager on my website. I have google code, and when I try to use it on my site, it makes javascript conflicts a lot .
Therefore, I tried to put the code in a separate file in order to do this step by step and observe the behavior of different scripts.
So here is my very simple HTML page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Titre</title>
</head>
<body>
<noscript>
<iframe src="http://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-XXXXXX" height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe>
</noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">
dataLayer = [{'uid':'12'}];
(function(w,d,s,l,i){
w[l]=w[l]||[];
w[l].push({'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});
var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';
j.async=true;
j.src='//www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;
f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
})(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-XXXXXX');
</script>
hello
</body>
</html>
And this same page returns an error in the JS console:
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
Well, this is unexpected, what does jQuery do here? I didn’t even post it on my body tag, does Google require jQuery?
So that was weird, and secondly, when I look at my generated HTML page after loading it in the browser:
<body>
... Long stuff here
<script type="text/javascript" id="" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
... some other stuff here
</body>
? Google jQuery jQuery?
, ...
