For some reason the external .js file I am linking to isn\'t working. I am linking to it like so:
Problem 1
It looks like jquery.js contains the code you wrote that depends on jQuery.
You need to load jQuery before you try to use it.
Swap the order of the elements.
Problem 2
$("document")
will wait for
elements to be ready. HTML doesn't have such a thing. Lose the quotes to pass in the document
object directly.
Better yet, forget about the explicit call to ready
and just
jQuery(function () { /* your function */ });
