Question

I have experimented with jQuery a while ago and it worked kinda neat. Now I created a site in php, with included header, footer, sidebar, you name it.

However, the jQuery doesn’t seem to work AT ALL. I linked to the jquery file which I downloaded to my hard drive. I’m currently running this site on localhost (xampp).

Since none of the jQuery code is working (and I’m trying really basic stuff like a click handler to pop up an alert – just to make sure jQuery works) I was wondering if the DOM gets processed first and then the included PHP files.

Any help is appreciated, I just want some simple jQuery running on the site.

Thanks

EDIT: sample code

     $('document').ready(function() {

$("#header-photo").click(function() {
  alert("Handler for .click() called.");
});



 });

Linking the jQuery file:

<script src="jquery.js"></script>

It’s in the same folder.

try to use it this way:

first ref to the jquery plugin:

<script src='path of your jquery plugin' type='text/javascript'></script>

<script type='text/javascript'>
    $(document).ready(function() {
  //  ^------^-------------------I think this is your problem 
  //  just remove the quotes " '  "

        $("#header-photo").click(function() {
            alert("Handler for .click() called.");
        });
    });
</script>

try this and see if this works.
