First example cannot get to work

Here is the html/script - when I click the link I get nothing, and firebug does not show any errors, so kinda stumped here. 
<!doctype html>                                                                                      <html>                                                                                                <head>                                                                                               <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"                       </script>                                                                                            <script>                                                                                             $(document).ready(function() {                                                                       $("a").click(function() {                                                                             alert("Ehllo world");                                                                                });                                                                                                  });                                                                                                 </script>                                                                                            </head>                                                                                              <body>                                                                                                 <a href="">Link</a>                                                                                </body>                                                                                              </html>                                                                                              ~
