[jQuery] jQuery introduction script (Alert Message is now showing!)


Hallo
Im new to jQuery. I have donwloaded the jquery-1.3.2min file and i
have copied that introduction code from the website and saved it in
the same directory as the jquery file. When i run the script it seems
to be working and when i click on the link it goes to the website, but
isnt this script suppose to show an alert message first, before it
goes to the website?
Please what am i doing wrong? Have a saved it correctly or is the file
i donwloaded not valid? Please help. The code follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").click(function(event){
alert("Thanks for visiting!");
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://jquery.com/">jQuery</a>
</body>
</html>
