Jquery - Linking external .js file not working

Question

For some reason the external .js file I am linking to isn\'t working. I am linking to it like so:

Answer 1

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 <script> elements.

Problem 2

$("document") will wait for <document> 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 */ });
