JavaScript error: Object doesn't support this property or method

Question

For a page in an ASP.net project, I deployed in both IIS 6 and IIS 7.5 servers. It is fine for the one in II6 Server, but for the IIS 7.5 server I received JavaScript error: Object doesn't support this property or method. The error occurs at the JS code. The related code is below:

HTML

// HTML code
<h3 class="expand">GIS Web Services and GIS Web Services</h3>

// JS Code
$(function () {
    $("h3.expand").toggler({ initShow: "div.collapse:first"}); // error here
    ...   }

// Related stylesheet code
.expand a {
  display:block;
  padding:3px 10px
}
.expand a:link, .expand a:visited {
  border-width:1px;
  background-image:url(../Images/collapse.png);
  background-repeat:no-repeat;
  background-position:98% 50%;
}
.expand a:hover, .expand a:active, .expand a:focus {
  text-decoration:underline
}
.expand a.open:link, .expand a.open:visited {
  border-style:solid;
  background:#eee url(../Images/expand.png) no-repeat 98% 50%
}

The consequence is that the Expand/Collapse functions don't work at all and the Expand/Collapse icons don't display.
Appreciate if you can provide me the hint for the problem.

I assume toggler is some kind of jQuery plugin? Are you including the scripts? Your code doesn't show that.

Where's the code for this : "div.collapse" ? Please put that also.

The 'div.collapse' is in a separate file: expand.js (see it below). Thanks for your review.
$.fn.toggler.defaults = {
cllpsEl : 'div.collapse',
method : 'slideToggle',
speed : 'slow',
container : '', //the common container of all groups with collapsible content (optional)
initShow : '.shown' //the initially expanded sections (optional)
};

Additional:
$.fn.toggler = function(options) {
var o = $.extend({}, $.fn.toggler.defaults, options);

var $this = $(this);
$this.wrapInner('');
if (o.initShow) {$(o.initShow).addClass('shown');}
$this.next(o.cllpsEl + ':not(.shown)').hide();
return this.each(function() {
var container;
(o.container) ? container = o.container : container = 'html';
if ($this.next('div.shown').length) { $this.closest(container).find('.shown').show().prev().find('a').addClass('open'); }
$(this).click(function() {
$(this).find('a').toggleClass('open').end().next(o.cllpsEl)[o.method](o.speed);
return false;
});
});};

Dear Sampath: I found the problem was because in my project that uses the IIS 7.5 did not have th expand.js. Your hint helped me solve the problem. Please re-post your comment and then I can credit your work and make the thread closed. Thanks very much!

Conclusion :

You should add the expand.js into your project and is needed to properly reference that too.
