Question

I am trying to use this jQuery click() function and for some arcane reasons it keeps on failing on some apparent syntactical error. I am not sure why. Below is my code snippet:

$(document).ready(function () {
   $('.Trial').click(function () {
      alert("User clicked on Trial Object");
   });
});

I am not sure what is wrong with it.

The code you posted worked fine: http://jsfiddle.net/jasper/xDGgh/

Check your error log for a specific error or line number. Try to comment-out different blocks of code to find the error (if you comment-out the code with the error, the rest of your JS will work). Developing with a browser that has good developer tools is extremely helpful; Firebug is a great add-on for Firefox.
