Hi guys,
I am currently going through the Lynda Learning Jquery Essential training course. I have completed all the lessons in the first chapter however on the last lesson in the chapter that puts everything together in a practical example I cant get it to work properly. This is really annoying as i have spent all my free time this week studying.
Anyway, the lesson/code should work like this, display a small PDF icon next to every href element in the document the has the .pdf extension.
However when i preview the code below none of the pdf images are displayed.
Hope you guys can help me out on this one, I was really enjoying learning Jquery up until now.
Many thanks in advance.
This is the code I have been trying to get working:

$("document").ready(function() {
$("a[href$=.pdf]").after("<img src='images/small_pdf_icon.gif' align='absbottom' />");
});

<p>This example demonstrates how to examine the contents of a link to see if it points to a
PDF file and automatically insert a PDF icon if it does.</p>
