The jQuery file not getting loaded in Django

Question

I am trying to load the jQuery files to the Django. But its not working for me. When I write the code inside the script tag inside the Head it works perfectly. I wrote the code in a file called main.js

  <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js">
   </script>
  <link rel="text/javascript" href="{% static 'js/main.js' %}">

This is my static path in settings

 STATIC_URL = '/static/'

How can I load the jQuery file in django?

HTML's link is used to load stylesheet -- CSS not JavaScript file.

You have to load javascript with script tag.

so like this:

<script src="{% static 'js/main.js %}"></script>
