Question

I have a custom.js file that has some jQuery stuff and no matter what I do the jQuery events were not getting fired.

In the main.blade.php I have a tag pointing to Google CDN. Then I have,

{{ HTML::script('js/custom.js') }}

And in the custom.js file I have a simple alert to make sure it’s getting called,

$(document).ready(function() {
   alert("jQuery worked");
}

No matter what I do the alert is not getting popped. Any thoughts?

I’m not sure if it’s a copy-paste error, but you’ve got a problem with your custom.js file. You’re missing a closing bracket and semi colon at the end of that snippet.

$(document).ready(function() {
   alert("jQuery worked");
});
