Hello, I've downloaded both the compressed & uncompressed versions and tried both the initial example from the jquery site (http://docs.jquery.com/ Tutorials:How_jQuery_Works) and the step-by-step intro from the tutorial videos (http://blog.themeforest.net/tutorials/jquery-for- absolute-beginners-video-series/). I have tried putting the jquery download in the same directory as my html (e.g. <script src="jquery-1.2.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script>... and I've tried putting it in a separate directory and put the path to it in the src parameter field.
In all cases I get the same result; nothing. If I put other JavaScript in my html file I can get it to do stuff (e.g. put up an alert box) but nothing I've done has resulted in a detectable invocation of jQuery functions. I'm doing this all under OS X, and I've also opened a terminal window and chmod'd the jquery-1.3.2.js file to 777, but that had no apparent effect either. Would anyone be willing to let me know where I've gone wrong? It is frustrating not to be able to do the most basic step. Thanks, Michael
