alert("Thanks for visiting!"); question

in Getting Started • 12 years ago

Hi everyone. I'm a little confused. Have been reading along in http://docs.jquery.com/How_jQuery_Works, and, when I try out

 $(document).ready(function(){ $("a").click(function(event){ alert("Thanks for visiting!"); }); });

don't get anything, except the link.

The tutorial says: Save your HTML file and reload the test page in your browser. Clicking the link on the page should make a browser's alert pop-up, before leaving to go to the main jQuery page.

Have not seen the "Thanks..." alert. Is this the expected behavior?

Cheers.

Make sure your test page look like this

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").click(function(event){
alert("Thanks for visiting!");
return false; // disable taking you to jquery page
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://jquery.com/">jQuery</a>
</body>
</html>

Hi craigcosmo. Thanks for the help. It was a dumb error on my part--I was missing the ".js" part of the src reference

to the jQuery library. [facepalms self] Everything works as expected.

Cheers,
