Jquery / Handlebars error message - Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'match'
i am working on a little learning project and have run into an issue that i cant work out.
I get the following error message on google chromes dev console :-
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'match'
lexer.nexthandlebars-1.0.0.beta.6.js:364
lexhandlebars-1.0.0.beta.6.js:392
lexhandlebars-1.0.0.beta.6.js:214
parsehandlebars-1.0.0.beta.6.js:227
Handlebars.parsehandlebars-1.0.0.beta.6.js:507
compilehandlebars-1.0.0.beta.6.js:1472
(anonymous function)handlebars-1.0.0.beta.6.js:1481

jQuery.Callbacks.firejquery.js:1046
jQuery.Callbacks.self.fireWithjquery.js:1164
donejquery.js:7399
jQuery.ajaxTransport.send.callback
Now this shows up at an error with the following code in the handlebars scrips
match = this._input.match(this.rules[rules[i]]);
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'match'
So what i take from this is that there must be an issue with my code and not the handlebar code even though it is in beta.
Here is the section of code that kicked it all off.
displayJobInfo: function( e ) {
var self = Actors;
self.config.jobInfo.slideUp( 300 );
var jobnum = $(this).data( 'job_id' );
$.ajax({
data: { job_id: jobnum }
}).then(function( results ) {
self.config.jobInfo.html( self.config.JobInfoTemplate( { jobs: results, job_id: jobnum }) ).slideDown(300);
});
console.log($(this).data( 'job_id' ));
e.preventDefault();
}
I have spent hours trying to work this one out myself and have got almost the same section of code working in another part of my site.
Little bit of background - i am using php to pull a database from mysql and then to query the database based on as users input and jquery to overlay the fields back onto the page.
