My Add to cart button has stopped working. It used to work just fine and I am not sure what has changed.
Based on reading thru forum posts I believe that I must have a JS conflict. I have tried to mitigate that by installing JQuery easy.
Here is source from offending page that references the various JS script loads
<script src="/media/system/js/mootools-core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/media/system/js/core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/media/system/js/modal.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/media/system/js/mootools-more.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/plugins/system/jqueryeasy/jquerynoconflict.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/components/com_virtuemart/assets/js/vmsite.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/components/com_virtuemart/assets/js/facebox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/components/com_virtuemart/assets/js/vmprices.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/components/com_virtuemart/assets/js/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Is it a JS conflict that is causing the add to cart button not to work ?
Not sure where to go from here or how to debug with firebug. Any guidance would be very much appreciated

seems like disabling the "modal pop up" upon Add to Cart resolves the problem ?
Not sure why. This feature worked fine in earlier versions
At least I have a functioning add to cart button again.
Still VERY appreciative of any light that anyone might be able to throw on this topic
I would like to re enable the popup since customers seem to like it as part of check out experience
Start by updating Joomla and VM. Both versions are outdated.
I don't think that your old version of VM will work properly with jQuery 1.7 - it "shipped" with jQuery 1.6.4 http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=118683.0
jQuery conflicts should be considerably reduced with the scripts used in VirtueMart 3
Your PHP version is very old, too. Minimum should be 5.3.10 and preferably PHP5.4+
Thank you for the replies. I will take a deep breath and upgrade to Vm 3. I appreciate the guidance
Don't forget the basic rule. Test all updates on a backup of the live site.
