How to include jQuery in HTML? - javascript

I've been trying to learn how to incorporate jQuery into an HTML program, and I'd appreciate if anyone could help me figure out what is wrong with the following code:
<!Doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).ready(function(){
alert("I'm ready!");
}):
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p> Hi there, I'm using Jquery </p>
</body>
</html>
I'm just trying to make a basic program that displays an alert box when it opens. For some reason, the alert box isn't popping up. Am I using the script tag in the wrong way?

2 problems:
src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js">
Add http: before the //. Your browser is attempting to find the file on your local fielsystem.
And }): should be });. Should work after that.

See jQuery ready()
$( document ).ready( handler )
// or
$().ready( handler ) (this is not recommended)
// or
$( handler )

Change
$(window).ready(function(){
alert("I'm ready!");
}):
TO
$(document).ready(function(){
alert("I'm ready!");
});

JQuery On Button Click Alert Issue

JSFiddle demo: https://jsfiddle.net/cr33q8v7/
$("#findMyWeather").click(function() {
alert("button clicked");
});
All I'm trying to verify is if the JQuery is working and I'm not getting any pop-up that says button clicked, so it would appear the syntax is wrong, but I've checked it multiple times and it looks right.
So if I include the library on JSFiddle, then why does the below code in the HTML file not run, as it appears the function is identical and these pointers both direct to the library:
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script>
$("#findMyWeather").click(function() {
alert("button clicked");
});
</script>
So the // pointers didn't reference (this is what the teacher instructed). When I changed to `https:``, then it functioned correctly:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
I need another set of eyes, or else I'm missing something else and just don't see it.
You need to include the jQuery library in JSFiddle.
Click the gear that says Javascript and choose the version of jQuery that suits you.
Your fiddle doesn't actually include jQuery via a script tag.
e.g. add: <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.min.js"></script> to your HMTL
you must add below line after last div between body tag :
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4
/jquery.min.js"></script>
Here is Demo
Add the cdn link for Jquery. Without jquery it will not work. You can add it to the before end of body tag.
Add:<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
use jquery online by adding <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>.
<html>
<head></head>
<title></title>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<body>
<button id="check">Click on me to check if jquery is working ....!</button>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#check").click(function(){
alert("yep, jquery is working");
});
</script>
</html>
every thing looks fine please select jquery in fiddle then try it
and please add this script code in your file
< script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js" ></script>

How do you get javascript/jquery to work?

EDIT: Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I've gotten it squared away thanks to your help!
I am doing javascript/jquery tutorials on codeschool/codeacademy and everything seems to go fine there. But when I try to do something myself, I cannot get the javascript to actually trigger. I tried chrome and firefox. I disabled all plugin extentions. Must be a simple problem, please help!
The following code I cut and pasted from jquery (http://learn.jquery.com/about-jquery/how-jquery-works/)
Here is a link to the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/interestinall/n5mqryrj/
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
jQuery
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
$( "a" ).click(function( event ) {
alert( "The link will no longer take you to jquery.com" );
event.preventDefault();
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
It does not work for me. Can someone explain why and tell me how to get it working? Thanks so much!
Theres nothing wrong with your code. We were all started somewhere and some of these suggestions are misleading
If you're not already aware, jQuery is a comprehensive library which makes complex javascript development simpler. Its important to note that everything you do with jQuery can be achieved using native javascript its just a little tricker and jquery handles all the complexities to work across a wide range of browsers. That is to say some things work in some browsers, where as others do things in a different way (notably IE).
To use jQuery on your website, you need to include it on your page. Its self executing and one way you can tell if its worked is running something like:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" ></script>
<script>
console.log($)
</script>
</body>
</html>
If you open the console in chrome (hit f12) you should see:
function (a,b){return new m.fn.init(a,b)}
Note that I'm using src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" for the source of the script. You can use src="jquery.js" as per your script, but it means you need to save the contents of https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js to a file called jquery.js at the same level as your index.html (or the wherever-you-saved-your-code.html)
Ive noted some suggestions say you should include jQuery in the tag and, though this would work, its considered best practice to keep scripts at the bottom of the page for reasons I wont go into here.
As such, this should work for you (irregardless of browser extensions):
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
jQuery
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" ></script>
<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
$( "a" ).click(function( event ) {
alert( "The link will no longer take you to jquery.com" );
event.preventDefault();
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Good luck.
You did not include jquery in your project.
change this line
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
to this line
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" ></script>
or any other version in
https://code.jquery.com/
You've used the wrong URL to jquery. http://fiddle.jshell.net/_display/jquery.js gives a 404 error.
Try using an absolute URI or picking the library from the Frameworks & Extensions menu.
You haven't included your jQuery properly. Try this instead:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Demo</title>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
jQuery
<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
$( "a" ).click(function( event ) {
alert( "The link will no longer take you to jquery.com" );
event.preventDefault();
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Try to replace
jQuery
with
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Or download the jQuery-Scriptfile from jQuery.com, store it locally and use that one.
Here is a working example
http://jsbin.com/pajecubute/1/edit
jQuery
$( document ).ready(function() {
$( "a" ).click(function( event ) {
alert( "The link will no longer take you to jquery.com" );
event.preventDefault();
});
});
Updated your fiddle. You need not include JQuery separately in your HTML. It is already present for your selection on the left hand side. Your code works now.
http://jsfiddle.net/n5mqryrj/8/
Added ready function in the script section:
$( document ).ready(function() {
$( "a" ).click(function( event ) {
alert( "The link will no longer take you to jquery.com" );
event.preventDefault();
});
});

jQuery simple button bind

I'm new to jQuery, so this should be a simple question.
As far as I understand, I can bind a method to listen to an event, such as the click of a button, using
$('#buttonID').bind('click', function (){//some code});
However, this isn't working for me, so I must be doing something wrong.
This is my simple html file:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.js'></script>
<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.js'></script>
<script src='test.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="SignIn" type="button" value="Sign In"></input>
</body>
</html>
Apart from loading jQuery files, it loads file test.js, which looks like this:
// JavaScript Document
$('#SignIn').bind('click', function() {alert('hi');});
Is that not enough for binding? I was hoping this would fire an alert dialog, but it doesn't, it seems the callback is not executed at all.
What is wrong here? Both files (html and js) are located in the same directory, and Google Chrome does not complain about anything in the JavaScript console, so from that end, everything should be fine.
Thanks for all help!
Wrap your code in document ready handler. It accepts a function which executes when DOM is fully loaded.
As you are using jQuery 1.3
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#SignIn').bind('click', function() {
alert('hi');
});
});
For jQuery 1.7+,
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#SignIn').on('click', function() {
alert('hi');
});
});
Additionally, As of jQuery 1.7, the .on() method is the preferred method for attaching event handlers to a document.
$(function(){
$('#SignIn').bind('click', function() {alert('hi');});
})
Try
$(function(){
$('#SignIn').click(function() {alert('hi');});
});
Move your Javascript to the bottom of the HTML page, right above the closing body tag.
That way the DOM is ready when it is loaded, and there's no need for $(document).ready() calls.
https://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#js_bottom
You may want to include your JavaScript files at the very bottom, and everything should work as expected. It is recommended to do this and to include CSS files at the top (head tag). For more information see link included by #Grim...
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<input id="SignIn" type="button" value="Sign In"></input>
<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.js'></script>
<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.js'></script>
<script src='test.js'></script>
</body>
</html>
$( "#target" ).click(function() {
//Write some code here
});
You can try this.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#SignIn').on('click', function() {alert('hi');});
});
You can use this.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#SignIn").click(function () {
alert('demo');
});
});

Why is this jQuery click function not working?

Code:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#clicker").click(function () {
alert("Hello!");
$(".hide_div").hide();
});
</script>
The above code doesn't work. When I click on #clicker, it doesn't alert and and it doesn't hide. I checked the console and I get no errors. I also checked to see if JQuery was loading and indeed it is. So not sure what the issue is. I also did a document ready function with an alert and that worked so not sure what I am doing wrong. Please help. Thanks!
You are supposed to add the javascript code in a $(document).ready(function() {}); block.
i.e.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#clicker").click(function () {
alert("Hello!");
$(".hide_div").hide();
});
});
As jQuery documentation states: "A page can't be manipulated safely until the document is "ready." jQuery detects this state of readiness for you. Code included inside $( document ).ready() will only run once the page Document Object Model (DOM) is ready for JavaScript code to execute"
I found the best solution for this problem by using ON with $(document).
$(document).on('click', '#yourid', function() { alert("hello"); });
for id start with see below:
$(document).on('click', 'div[id^="start"]', function() {
alert ('hello'); });
finally after 1 week I not need to add onclick triger.
I hope this will help many people
Your code may work without document.ready() just be sure that your script is after the #clicker. Checkout this demo: http://jsbin.com/aPAsaZo/1/
The idea in the ready concept. If you sure that your script is the latest thing in your page or it is after the affected element, it will work.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>JS Bin</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<a href="#" id="clicker" value="Click Me!" >Click Me</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#clicker").click(function () {
alert("Hello!");
$(".hide_div").hide();
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Notice:
In the jsbin demo replace http with https there in the code, or use this variant Demo
Try adding $(document).ready(function(){ to the beginning of your script, and then });. Also, does the div have the id in it properly, i.e., as an id, not a class, etc.?
You have to wrap your Javascript-Code with $(document).ready(function(){});Look this JSfiddle.
JS Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#clicker").click(function () {
alert("Hello!");
$(".hide_div").hide();
});
});
Be sure there is nothing on your button (such a div or a trasparent img) that keeps from clicking the button.
It sounds stupid, but sometimes we think that jQuery is not working and all that stuffs and the problem is on the positioning of DOM elements.
You can use $(function(){ // code }); which is executed when the document is ready to execute the code inside that block.
$(function(){
$('#clicker').click(function(){
alert('hey');
$('.hide_div').hide();
});
});
Just a quick check, if you are using client-side templating engine such as handlebars, your js will load after document.ready, hence there will be no element to bind the event to, therefore either use onclick handler or use it on the body and check for current target
Proper Browser Reload
Just a quick check as well if you keep your js files separately: make sure to reload your resources properly. Browsers will usually cache files, so just assure that i.e. a former typo is corrected in your loaded resources.
See this answer for permanent cache disabling in Chrome/Chromium. Otherwise you can generally force a full reload with Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5 as mentioned in this answer.

JQUERY won't work on local machine

I'm trying JQUERY on my machine, but for some reason, nothing seems to work. Here's the test file:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/css" src="jquery.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("p").mouseover(function () {
$(this).css("color","black");
});
$(document).ready(function(){
$("body").css("background-color","black");
$("body").css("color","white");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a test</h1>
<p>Roll over me!</p>
</body>
</html>
Nothing in there works. Also, if anybody wants to know, accessing through my domain and through the local both don't work. I'm really confused, because I copied most of that code off the internet, just in case there was something wrong with my typing.
For some reason, firefox is throwing this error:
Code: Evaluate
$ is not defined
http://hussain.mooo.com/jq.html
Line: 6
$ is not defined
http://hussain.mooo.com/jq.html
Line: 6
New code (moved the p onmouseover handeler)
<script src="jquery.js" type="text/css">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("p").mouseover(function () {
$(this).css("color","black");
});
$("body").css("background-color","black");
$("body").css("color","white");
});
</script>
Specify correct type for javascript file:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
Update
You're currently using type="text/css" as content type for javascript file which is incorrect. Try to copy above code into your script.
Screenshot
removed dead ImageShack link
Install firebug and see what it tells you in the Console tab.
You should move the attachment of the mouseover handler into $(document).ready(...) because the paragraph won't necessarily exist until the document is ready and so no handler can be attached to it.
Download the latest version of jQuery "jquery-1.3.2.min.js" and link the file correctly. and try this,
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("p").mouseover(function () {
$(this).css("color","black");
});
$("body").css("background-color","black");
$("body").css("color","white");
});
</script>
