[jQuery] JQuery Hello world not working

[jQuery] JQuery Hello world not working


Hi All,
I am new to JQuery. I did the following to get started with JQuery.
1) Downloaded JQuery Uncompressed version. Renamed JQuery.1.2.3.js to
JQuery.js (I do not know whether this is correct! )
2) I followed the tutorial for "Hello world" and typed the following
code into an HTML file
<html>

<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js">
</script>
<script type="text/
javascript">
alert('here');
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a").click(function() {
alert("Hello world!");
});
});
</
script>
</
head>

<body>
</
body>
</html>
After opening this HTML file in IE 7.9, I find nothing on the page,
not even any javascript error. The code is supposed to display a link,
but I do not find any link on the page. Can anyone help me here.
