Use of JQuery in a Symfony 2 project

Question

JQuery does not seem to work in my Symfony2 project.

I use these 2 snippets to test JQuery in a twig html file and none of them is working:

    {% block myJavascript %}
    <script type="text/javascript">

    if (typeof jQuery != 'undefined') {
        alert('hi'); }


     $(document).ready(function() {
        alert('hi');
     });
    </script>
    {% endblock %}

This code alone is working meaning that Javascript is working

     alert('hi');

I have in my app/resources/view/base.html.twig

         <link rel="javascript" href="{{ asset('bundles/etiennepsav/js/jquery-1.8.3.js') }}" type="text/javascript" media="all" />

Referring to the jQuery files located in :

   app/src/Etienne/Bundle/PsavBundle/Resources/Public/js/jquery-1.8.3.js

Any ideas what's wrong? Is there a special config to set?

Javascript needs a <script> tag not a <link> tag in order to load in a page

@JeanValjean well, so u consider that asking wether jquery can work with symfony and how is not a good question? being obvious to u doesnt mean it is obvious to everyone...every environment have their specificities...i dont find changing my title was particularely a good idea...that was not the question i have asked

@Matoeil You can edit your question if you want to change title and more! The title should be related to the problem and to the solution. In my perspective, the title was misleading and without a great sense, while now is more useful for the community!

JeanValjean Over a year ago

@Matoeil About specificities, this is a community of programmers. The basis are expected to be known. A programmer should know that jQuery is just a Javascript library. Since Javascript is a client-side language that interacts with the server-side by means of http requests and that can receive strings from the server, one should imagine that each problem of the type you shown is merely due to a coding error in the "view".
