Answer 1

In order for jQuery to work, your script should come after

In the _Layout.cshtml, just before the tag you can find something like this

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)

First you have the jQuery library. Then you have any scripts. That's what this means. So in your views do something like this.

@section scripts{
 //your script
}

This will make sure that all scripts comes under jQuery reference.
