jQuery TypeError: $ is undefined

Question

I\'m trying to use the iCheck plugin and I\'m new to JQuery and javaScript. I\'m getting an error in the browser that says

TypeError: $ is undefined<

Answer 1

You are loading <script src="js/icheck.js"></script> before jQuery is defined. Load jQuery first.

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.11.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.ui.core.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.ui.widget.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.ui.accordion.js"></script>
<script src="js/icheck.js"></script>
