"Oh?! You mean I have to include jQuery before the examples will work?" :) I've done that before without realizing it.

That sort of error usually occurs when it can't find the jquery.js file. In Firefox, open the script tab in Firebug (If you don't have this extension, get it here: http://www.getfirebug.com/ ) and click on the file name heading. you should see two file names, one for jquery.js and one for the current html page. Select the jquery.js file and look in the Script inspector to see if it's giving you a 404. You'll probably want to add a return false; after the alert line, too. --Karl ____________ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On Aug 26, 2008, at 8:41 AM, Caveman wrote: I'm having a problem running the first simple example in this tutorial. here is my code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $("a").click(function(){ alert("Thanks for visiting!"); }); }); </script> </head> <body> <a href="http://jquery.com/";>jQuery</a> </body> </html> Seems pretty simple but does not work for me in IE 7, firefox, or Opera. I am running this in IIS on my XP Pro box. IE just gives me the error Object Expected.
