jQuery.mmenu plugin does not work in Django

Question

I cannot get jQuery.mmenu plugin to work with Django when used inside a template. If I place the demo into the static folder, the demo pages function as advertised. But when Django serves the demo pages as templates, nothing happens when the menu is clicked.

Chrome provides this feedback:

Uncaught TypeError:
    Object #<Object> has no method 'off'                     jquery.mmenu.js:352
    $.(anonymous function)._initBlocker                      jquery.mmenu.js:352

Iceweasel (Firefox) provides this:

TypeError: glbl.$blck.off is not a function @            jquery.mmenu.js:352

Are you sure you use at least jQuery 1.7?

From jquery.mmenu.js:

* @requires jQuery 1.7.0 or later
