Question

I may be a bit burned out, but is there something wrong with where I put the code on my site?

Live on my site, not working at all
http://japaneselanguagefriend.com/apptest.html

Here it is on JSfiddle working just fine.

Thanks to Adeneo for helping with this code!

You’re not including jQuery in your test page. The console says

Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined

And you aren’t including jquery.js either from a CDN or locally in your code.

Include

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js

in your page, or host your own copy locally. Using a CDN is recommended as a cached copy may already be available on the client, which speeds up page load times.

Always have your browser’s error console open when testing and debugging JavaScript. You will catch and fix most if not all syntactical or technical errors with it open.
