I'm trying to implement the following functionality:

jQuery: Find word and change every few seconds

i.e. eliciting a word to change every few seconds on my site.

I've tried to incorporate the code from the above example- but I've not been able to get it to work.

There must be something wrong with the way that I'm configuring jQuery or JavaScript, but I can't tell why or how.

This is the code I'm using:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>

    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

Can anyone spot where I've gone wrong?

anything inside a script block <script></script> where the script tag has a src attribute, is ignored

    <script src="../libs/jquery/dist/jquery.js">
// this is ignored    
$(function() {
    var words = ['cool', 'fantastic', 'incredible', 'awesome'],
        index = 0,
        $el = $('#rotate-word')
    setInterval(function() {
        index++ < words.length - 1 || (index = 0);
        $el.fadeOut(function() {
            $el.text(words[index]).fadeIn();
        });
    }, 3000); 
});

    </script>

what you want is

    <script src="../libs/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
    <script>
// this will run
$(function() {
    var words = ['cool', 'fantastic', 'incredible', 'awesome'],
        index = 0,
        $el = $('#rotate-word')
    setInterval(function() {
        index++ < words.length - 1 || (index = 0);
        $el.fadeOut(function() {
            $el.text(words[index]).fadeIn();
        });
    }, 3000); 
});

    </script>
