Help a noob? Trying to use slideDown

Hi there,

I'm trying to do something REAL simple with jQuery just to get me going. I've been scratching my head over this for a while now. Here's the jQuery code I'm using:

<script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#contact").slideDown();
});
</script>


#contact is a div containing just two lines of text that I want to slide down when the document is loaded. I have set the div to a specific width and height, but still cannot get it working. My jQuery.js file is in the right place, so I've ruled that out!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers.
