I’ve got this code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
        <script type="text/javascript" href="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.min.js" />
        <title>JQuery Demo 1</title>
        <style type="text/css">
            #box
            {
                background-color: #ff0000;
            }
        </style>
        <script type="text/javascript">


        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="box">----Text----!</div>
    </body>
</html>

When I include the Jquery file from Google, the div “box” stops being red. When I remove the JQuery file, it becomes red again. WHY?

    Try not using self closing syntax for your script element, e.g.

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.min.js"></script>

    …and the correct attribute to point to a script file is src, not href.

    See it on jsFiddle.
