problem with jquery

Question

I'm beginner in jquery.this is my first application.

<head>
  <title>Untitled Document</title>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="../jquery-1.6.2.min.js"></script>
  <script type=”text/javascript”>
    $(document).ready(function(){
      $("a").click(function(){
        alert("Hello World");
      });
    });
  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <a href=”#”>Click me!</a>
</body>
</html>

but when i click on Click me the alert doesn't showed.what is problem? (the lib address(src="../jquery-1.6.2.min.js) is correct )

Have you checked firebug to make totally sure that your jquery lib is loading? — Keith

It works for me..with you code..The only change i did is that <script type="text/javascript" src="code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.2.min.js"> — Rajeev

You have odd quotes in some of your code:

” vs. "

That could be causing your problem. Change them all over to regular double quotes "

EDIT: Tested it, it's the funny quotes around text/javascript specifically but the other should be fixed too.

I would guess you either have a problem with your reference to jQuery or with the weird quotes around your # and text/javascript.

I took your code and placed it in jsfiddle and it runs fine:

Are you sure that you have the correct location for your jQuery file?
