I’m trying jQuery for the first time on my website and it doesn’t work.

  • 0

I’m trying jQuery for the first time on my website and it doesn’t work. I’ve been trying hundreds of things for about 10 hours now and today I have much more grey hair =). The most simple snippet I found is this one:

<script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#msgid1").html("This is Hello World by JQuery 1<BR>");
    });

    $(function () {
        $("#msgid2").html("This is Hello World by JQuery 2<BR>");
    });

    window.onload = function() {
        document.getElementById('msgid3').innerHTML = "This is Hello World by JavaScript";
    };

</script>

This is Hello World by HTML

<div id="msgid1">
</div>

<div id="msgid2">
</div>

<div id="msgid3">
</div>

I put that in my <body>. The result is :

This is Hello World by HTML
This is Hello World by JavaScript

And the jQuery calls don’t work for me. Maybe it has something to do with my <head>?

<title>@ViewBag.Title</title>
<link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/Site.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"/>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/modernizr-1.7.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.11.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

What do you think?

    Actually, I just found the solution.

    There seems to be an issue whene these lines are not very next to each other

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

    By simply changing the order of the lines, the two jQuery output lines suddenly appeared!

    Thank you all for you help!
