@cmbtrx I have just lifted the code directly from your second post, tagged </body></html> after the anchor, and it worked first time (Firefox and IE7). I can only suggest that you check that the path to the jquery.js source file is correct for wherever you are running it, as that is the *only* thing that would prevent the alert from showing.
(Actually, thinking about it, it's not the only thing that could prevent the link activating, because you state that there is more html below the link, and it is possible - though unlikely - for that to prevent the link activation, so I would suggest that for testing you remove any extraneous code from your page.) Bratty missives beget bratty missives. Frustration can be understood, accepted, and usually resolved - but responses are far more likely when the request is couched in polite terms, and with as much relevant information as possible. cmbtrx wrote: > > > Shucks, I knew it was too good to be true. > > This ass/troll/clueless individual thanks you for making this group > forum now begin to sound like every other developer's resource on the > web: well-intentioned but ultimately crippled by the bratty missives > of a few self-important detractors. > > Feel free to share your own insights next time--it might in fact be an > opportunity for you to learn something that perhaps you never knew you > needed to know. > > > On Sep 27, 8:28 pm, Robert Koberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I am new to jquery.
