Got it abolabo! Pasted the entire code and it kind of works

Part of my problem was definitively the use of a custom template. Apparently some files in the default template got updated making the javascript and stylesheet in my custom template out of date.

I noticed a problem while switching back and forth between custom and default template:
----- The default template does NOT display the products on a category page even though my custom template does.
See attached pic for web console error. Note that I use the "super menu" extension but I don't know if this would make a difference or not.
