jQuery not working but Javascript will

Question

I feel really silly asking this, but it is completely blowing my mind why my link to the Google jQuery api isn't working. I know my code isn't broken because it works here: http://jsfiddle.net/jefffabiny/8p46d/

Here are my script tags in my index file:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/functions.js"></script>

Other than that, the doctype is HTML5, and I'm working on an local xampp install. I bet I over looked something small; does anyone see the problem here? Thanks.

EDIT Actually, after I submitted this post I got an alert at the top of my browser saying stack overflow requires javascript from an external domain to run properly, but it was being blocked. I guess that's my problem, but does anyone know how to fix that?

Do you see a JS error? If so, what's the error? Also, did you make sure to clear the cache? — Ja͢ck

look at your code in firefox sourcecode - are there red parts? If so you've probably missed a quote or something like this — Sindhara

Are you executing your code after DOM is ready? jsFiddle does!

Try this:

$(function() {
    $('.test').on("click", function(){
        $(this).css('color', 'blue');
    });
});

When nothing seems wrong, it's almost always document.ready.

I knew it would be something dumb... thank you. I'd still like to know if anyone has any input on that 'failed to load from another domain' alert.
