Getting jQuery to work

[pillaw]

Hey,

So I’ve been teaching myself jQuery using Codeacademy, and I have actually picked up a lot from it. One thing I’m not understanding is why this is not working. I’m sure my linking is wrong.. I might try writing the script directly on my index.html page.

Can you guys see why this is not working?

Codepen: [http://cdpn.io/DeBup](http://cdpn.io/DeBup “http://cdpn.io/DeBup”)

Go to CodePen’s Editor mode.

Push near the right side of the screen where it reads Ctrl 3

You see a drop down where it reads “Latest version of…”

Click the box below. Select jQuery from the list.

Added the latest version [here](http://cdpn.io/voCai “here”).

$(this).fadeOut(‘fast’,’0′)

to

$(this).fadeOut(‘fast’);

The second parameter should be a function, or if it is a string, tell which “easing funtion” to use, of which there are natively only two supported: ‘swing’ and ‘linear’.

So I added your new code and it still seemed not to work.

This is the jQuery code I am using. I don’t think I linked it correctly.. Do I have to link the jQuery page to my HTML one and do something else? All I have done is linked my jQuery page to my HTML page.

Here is my jQuery code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(‘.test’).click(function() {
$(this).fadeOut(‘fast’)
});
});

If there is no other difference, you’re missing a semicolon.

Alright, so I added the semicolon praying it would work.. What a let down. I’m right there with you now.. I’m not sure why this code is not working. It seems to be set up perfectly fine?

I updated the codepen if you want to take a look now. The jQuery code should make the div with the ID of object disappear when clicked.

Works for me.

What browser are you using?

[Merri]

Firefox, Chrome, Opera and IE10 on Windows 8. All work fine for the last link.

Try Ctrl + Shift + R (or Ctrl + R) to force full reload on CodePen and see if that fixes your issue.

[pillaw]

Hmm.. Works on codepen now. I think there might be a problem with viewing my website through Dreamweaver on the internet? You know.. Using the “Preview/Debug in Browser” button on Dreamweaver instead of uploading it to a server.

Got it to work. Thanks Merri!
