708 PointsCan't get the javascript to execute.
For some reason I cannot get the javascript to execute, I have tried multiple different ways but I can't seem to get it to work. My code is pasted below, please help.
<script type="text/javascript" src="inductive-js/jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(".qty").hide(); $(".order-now").click(function(){ var $link = $(this); $(link).next().show("slow"); return false; });

var $link = $(this);
$link.next().show("show");
Instead of with $(link) use $link which is the name of your variable.
