I cannot figure out why it’s still not recognizing jQuery syntax when I clearly have included the jQuery library right before my $(document).ready

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
    <head id="Head1"><title>

</title></head>
    <body>

        <form name="form1" method="post" action="jQueryDialogTest.aspx" id="form1">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPDwULLTE2MTY2ODcyMjlkZA==" />

</div>


<script src="content/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="content/js/popup.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
            <div id="testDialog" winWidth="400" winHeight="500" winResizable="true">
                Some test mark-up, should show inside the dialog
            </div>
            <div><input type="button" id="invokeDialog" value="Click Me!" /></div>
        </form>

        <script type="text/javascript">

            $(document).ready(function()
            {
                $("input.invokeDialog").click.showDialog("#testDialog");
            });

        </script>

    </body>
</html>

In popup.js I have for example this:

function showDialog(divID)
{
    // Get reference to the div element
    var dialogDiv = $(divID);

    dialogDiv.dialog
    (
        {
            bgiframe: true,
            modal: true,
            autoOpen: false,
            show: 'blind'
        }
    )

    dialogDiv.dialog("open");
}

    Are you sure that it’s actually loading the javascript file? Tools like “Fiddler” can help you determine this.

    Also, your code is not terminated correctly, which can cause weird errors. Try this:

    $(document).ready(function() 
            { 
                $("input.invokeDialog").click.showDialog("#testDialog"); 
            } 
);
