bspindia, Are you sure keep still set up the Embedder properly? 🤔 Make sure you put in the "dropins" script, at least (the Dropbox object comes from there).

 

PS: Make sure you remove all possible typos in your code! 😉 (Drobox ≠ Dropbox)

    $("<div>").attr('name','subject').text("Health and Physical Science"),
    $("<div>").attr("name",'chapter').append(
    $("<span>").text("Chapter 1")
    ),
    $("<a>").attr({
    //'height':'400px','width':'200px',
    //'frameborder':'0',
    'class':'tbLesson',
    'type':'application/pdf',
    //'src':'assets/textBooks/jehp1ps.pdf',
    }).addClass('dropbox-embed')
    )
    )
     
    /*
    let options = {
    // Shared link to Dropbox file
    file: {
    // Sets the zoom mode for embedded files. Defaults to 'best'.
    zoom: "best" // or "fit"
    },
    folder: {
    // Sets the view mode for embedded folders. Defaults to 'list'.
    view: "list", // or "grid"
    headerSize: "normal" // or "small"
    }
    }
    Dropbox.embed(options,$(".tbLesson"));
     
    */
