Question

I am using Titanium to build a desktop app using web technologies. I decided to use Backbone.js as my mvc. The problem is the application runs not on a server. This is my Backbone model and collection:

     window.Student = Backbone.Model.extend({
        initialize: function(){
            this.bind("save", this.value_change);
        },
        value_change: function(){
            alert("Student model saved for : " + this.attributes.first_name);
        },

        urlRoot : http://localhost:8080/student/,
    });

    window.Students = Backbone.Collection.extend({
        model: Student,
        url: 'http://localhost:8080/students/',
    });

and try fetching the values from the server using

var students = new Students  
students.fetch() 

I get this error:

message: "'undefined' is not an object (evaluating '$.ajax')"  

I am assuming this has to do with the url part. It is not able to fetch the values from the server. Any Ideas?

Thanks for all your answers. The problem laid in loading jquery after backbone. I loaded jquery first and it worked out fine. Thanks to parshap from the irc of #documentcloud.
