Try example from chapter two

For whatever reason, I cannot get the Try example 2.2 from chapter two to work. I gewt the following error in firebug:

$ is not defined
Example%202-2.js()Example%202-2.js (line 94)
error source line: [Break on this error] $(document).ready(tmpExample.ready);

I have tested this by copying your code from the download and it still does not work. Any ideas?

It sounds like you are not linking to the jquery source file correctly. Check your code inlucdes the correct link and that the jquery.js file is in the correct place:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>

Nope .. that's not it. I am used to a lot of include files as I do a lot of PHP stuff. I always keep files like this inside a js folder which is inside an assets folder. I double checked that and the path is correct and I awlways, whenever posssible, use site relative links. I have not had a chance to go back to this but will try again soon. It may be I missed a parenthesis or something.

I downloaded the example code and it ran fine first time btw.

OK .. I will try it again. Probably was too tired when trying it and just screwed it up somewhere.
