Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong? why this basic click function isn’t getting executed to the point of sending off the alert. I have jQuery-1.7.1.js linked to my page.

jQuery

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>


<script type="text/javascript" src="../fruith/jquery-1.7.1.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkedDark () {

$('#activate_post_checkbox').click(function(){
    alert('duh')

  $('#work').css('color', this.checked ? '#000' : '#666');

});


}
</script>

</head>

HTML

<body>
<div id="work">blah blah blah</div>


<input type="checkbox" id="activate_post_checkbox" value="active"  /><span id="activate_post_checkbox_text">Make my posting active immediately.</span>
</body>
</html>

    You need to assign the click event in the document.ready function, or call your checkedDark() function first.

    For example:

    <script type="text/javascript">
$(function() { 

  $('#activate_post_checkbox').click(function(){
      alert('duh');
      $('#work').css('color', this.checked ? '#000' : '#666');
  });
});
</script>
