Question

I normally use Ruby on rails to develop my work with sublime text as my text editor, but today I am using just using notepad and creating a site locally. Now normally all my js and css is rendered perfectly via the asset pipeline in rails but I am having trouble getting the js to work, in particular the dropdown button in the navbar.

i am calling Jquery within the header

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

And I am calling my bootstrap.js file

<script src="js/bootstrap.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

The css for the navbar is as follows

 <div class="container">
  <div class="navbar">
    <div class="navbar-inner">
     <div class="container">

  <a class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse">
    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
  </a>


  <!-- Everything you want hidden at 940px or less, place within here -->
  <div class="nav-collapse">
    <ul class="nav">
  <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">About Us</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Menu</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li>
</ul>
  </div>

</div>

Am i missing something blindly obvious because the button is not responding?

Any help appreciated

Answer 1

The CDN wasnt pulling the jquery so i have hosted the file locally now and it works fine
