When I purchase any computer book to learn a new technology, I always type in the example source code by hand. I purchase the Beginning JavaScript and CSS develpment with jQuery and typed in the 3 files that are on page 6 of the book. Of course I adjusted the path to find the jQuery.js file. I was unable to get the example to work properly. I then downloaded the files from the Wrox website and made the path chages to find the jQuery.js file and was still unsuccessful. I am using Explorer version 8. Does anyone have any information on the code that is found on page 6?

If you downloaded the code from the web site then you don't need to make any path changes. All the paths are relative.

However in IE you will probably get a security warning asking you to allow blocked content. This can be changed using the "allow active content to run in files on my computer" setting in the advanced options in IE, but this is obviously something you should be careful changing as it is a bit of a security risk (hence why the setting is not set by default).

Think before you post: What have you tried?

In the example 'Example 1-1.html' it directs you to load the jQuery file as such:

src='../../../Source Code/jQuery/jQuery/jQuery.js'

When I download the compressed jQuery framework, it downloads as:

jquery-1.2.6.min.js

I then change jQuery.js to jquery-1.2.6.min.js and it worked fine. Learning curve on my part. Thank you for the reply.

Well jquery is included in the source code download, so you shouldn't have had to do that, but I'm glad you got it working.
