Let's see a sample of your code, source inclusions, jQuery, and HTML.
Something simple...not too much code.

Subject: [jQuery] can't get started


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
