Syntax error when including jquery

Syntax error when including jquery

Hello all!

I've been trying to include jquery in one of my pages as it's required by lightbox. However, whenever I insert

  1. <script type="text/javascript" src="/includes/javascript/jquery-1.11.2.js"></script>


into the <head> section of the page, lightbox reports that "jQuery is not defined."  The error console in Firefox has this to say:


"Error: SyntaxError: syntax error

Source file: http://zf1.farstrider.local/includes/javascript/jquery-1.11.2.js      Line 1

<br />"


There is no <br /> tag anywhere in the jquery-1.11.2.js file, so I really don't know why this error is being produced or how to fix it.

I'm hoping the experts out there will have some advice for me :)
