Hi,
Am new to jquery and also not so proficient with . So bear with me if
it sounds silly. I just can't get jquery to work the way its
promised.
I did these,
1. Downloaded jquery-1.2.js
2. Included it in my html. And wrote my first code as this
${document}.ready(function() {
${'a'}.click(function() {
alert("Link clicked");
${'#main-content'}.html('<h1> Hello </h1>');
return false;
})
});
This didnt work. I got an error that said "missing ; before statement"
3. Changed my code to replace all ${} references with jQuery(). Though
this works, I get two alerts everytime i click a link. And content of
div with id main-content doesn't change either.
What am I doing wrong. Any help/pointer will be appreciated.
From the error message, it looks like you are missing a semicolon.
Try this:
${document}.ready(function() {
${'a'}.click(function() {
alert("Link clicked");
${'#main-content'}.html('<h1> Hello </h1>');
return false;
}); // <--- added semicolon
});
If you still get an error, let us know and perhaps provide a link to
the page that is experiencing the problem. This is a very basic script
that has proven to work on countless other sites, so it shouldn't be
too hard to detect what might be going wrong.
