Question

I’ve added in an “.aspx” page some JS code based on jQuery, but it doesn’t work. This is the code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.4.js" />
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function() {
                alert('Hello');
        });
    </script>

It is under a tag without “runat=server” attribute and I don’t know the origin of the problem because the JS consoles of the webbrowser doesn’t register any error.

How can I fix that?

Answer 1

The <script> tag should not be self-closing. So:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.4.js" />

should be:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.4.js"></script>

Also make sure that jquery-1.6.4.js exists on the specified url.
