I have found this topic in numerous locations already in this forum, and I understand the cause – after updating WP to 4.5.3/Java code issues – but I am having a heck of a time finding what is causing our particular problem. I have turned off numerous plugins that I thought could be the issue after looking at the page source, but am stuck. Here is the site’s registration page where we are getting the error: https://katm.org/registration-checkout/#checkout
I will re-activate all of the plugins. Perhaps you can find the error and get us back on track? Thanks for your help.

The error is caused by some old buggy JavaScript in your old copy of the Avada theme (v.3.7.2). You can get back on track by either updating to the current version of the Avada theme or by patching the old version’s main.js file. Specifically wherever it has this:
Thank you for the fast response. I string searched the main.js file in the Avada theme folder and found one place with the buggy code. I added quotes around the # as instructed and, after clearing my browser’s cached, still had the error. Could you recommend another step for me? Thank you.
If you only found one place, you now have at least 4 left to go. Your exact string you’re searching for is:
href=#
There may be other places within the Avada theme that also need fixing. So if you’re not going to update to the current version of Avada, you can use a tool like Firebug to further debug your old theme.
