Problem working with jQuery

Question

jQuery for some reason isn\'t working.I\'d like to know what the problem is.Here is my code :

Answer 1

You seem to be confusing the form of the script tag that goes:

<script type="text/javascript">

with the one that goes:

<script language="javascript">

(see e.g. here for some explanation). Why not fix your tags to use just type= instead? Not sure whether that's all your problem (after spotting this one I think it needs to be fixed even if there were others;-) but it's confusing me and could be confusing your browser;-).

Answer 2

I doubt it's the problem, but trying changing your function name from hide(), which is a jQuery function, to something else like hideDiv()

Since hide() isn't being used with the jQuery tag ($.hide()) I doubt this is the issue, but worth a shot I guess.
