This is my link to jquery file -

<script type=\"text/javascript\" src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js?ver=1.3.2'></script>

This is the test i am trying -

<script type=\"text/javascript\">     		   
			
			$(function() {
				$('a').click(function() {
					alert(\"Hello world!\");
				});
			});
				
</script>

This is the html that is required -

<a href=\"#\">Click Me</a>

Why won't it work - i really cant see the problem, i have tried hosting my own version of a jquery file but that did not work either.

Please Help
Many Thanks for your time

you need

<script type=\"text/javascript\">              
$(document).ready(function() {
     $('a').click(function() {
          alert(\"Hello world!\");
     });
});       
</script>

jQuery needs the $(document).ready function.

Thanks for the reply - i'm not sure it does need that line - i got this code from one of the videos on themforest (the links at the start of this forum).
I did put in your code just to check but it still will not work.

Many Thanks

Found your problem..

your javscript links to:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/libs/jquery/ ... ?ver=1.3.2

but it should link to:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jq ... ?ver=1.3.2
