Buttons won't show selected class when clicked

I apologize in advance. I don't know how to properly post my code formatted. So, as the subject says, my buttons won't display a class of selected when clicked. To me, my code looks identical to Dave's. Please help me figure out what I'm missing. Thanks.

This...

<script>"http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"</script>

... should be this:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
