jQuery error with script referencing another script

I'm trying to debug an error on this site: www.naijastories.com.

When I click on the 'Donate' link on this page, nothing happens, even though a pop-up is supposed to appear.

Digging deeper and using the IE developer function, I see that the following error is reported:

"Object doesn't support property or method 'prompt'"

The object in this case is the jQuery object, and the error occurs in the /wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/modules/donate/donate.js file.

The line with the error is

var $imp = jQuery.prompt(donatePrompt);

prompt is the missing property.

This is strange, because the prompt property is set in the first line of another js file - /wp-content/plugins/cubepoints/modules/donate/jquery.impromptu.4.0.min.js - which is loaded just before the donate.js file is loaded.

Is the problem that the donate.js file is not seeing what has been done in the jquery.impromptu.4.0.min.js file?

How do I find out why the jQuery global is not being properly populated with the prompt property?

It looks like jQuery.prompt only exists in Chrome, but not in IE, which hints that there's a conflict somewhere with the Impromptu plugin and something else and it's browser-specific. You need to be able to type $.prompt into console and see the function instead of TypeError: Cannot read property 'prompt' of undefined, which I see on your page but not http://trentrichardson.com/Impromptu. Note that this seems to happen in IE and not the other browsers.
