I am using Visual studio 2012 to create a sample Windows 8 Phone app.

From the “Create New Project” option I have selected,

Windows > Windows Phone HTML5 App

I have also added a jquery.min.js file to the project as shown below.

enter image description here

Below is my code written in index.html…

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/html/css/phone.css" />
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/html/js/jquery.min.js" ></script>
        <title>Windows Phone</title>
        <script type="text/javascript">
          $("#dynamic-box").text("hey !");
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>
            <p>MY APPLICATION</p>
        </div>
        <div id="dynamic-box"></div>
    </body>
</html>

But no matter what I try my jquery code just wont work. Is there some other way in which jquery is to be written in Windows 8 Phone app ?

Please help me on this.

    Two things going on here, one jQuery, one Windows Phone:

    1. Put your code into the ready event (it won’t work in a web page either as is)

      <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#dynamic-box").text("hey!");
    });
</script>

    2. Set IsScriptEnabled BEFORE navigating to the opening page. Flip the order of the statements in Browser_Loaded in MainPage.xaml.cs. 

      private void Browser_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    // Add your URL here
    Browser.IsScriptEnabled = true;
    Browser.Navigate(new Uri(MainUri, UriKind.Relative));
}
