jQuery not working on Rails 3.2.8

Question

I\'m having an issue with jQuery on Rails 3.2.8. I\'ve installed the jquery-rails gem and my application.js has the following:

//= require jquery
//= require

You probably want to check the console in the browser you are testing.

In jQuery's case, $ is just an alias for jQuery, does the following work

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
   jQuery("a").click(function(event){
     alert("Thanks for visiting!");
   });
});

Perhaps you have called jQuery.noConflict() somewhere, removing the alias?
