:point_right: The problem is likely in some other code.

Assuming jQuery is loaded, this code establishes a timer that will fire the click event handler on any button with the class of "sharBtn" every 3 seconds.

This little bit of code makes no attempt to access any elements by ID, nor does it contain the string "%s". The problem most likely lies elsewhere.
