Code Challenge: Including JQuery in our Project

I have mentioned this twice before and it still doesn't work. Every time I complete Task 4 it tells me to go back to Task 2 and sometimes it does that with Task 3. Here is my code for Tasks 1-4:

Task 1: 

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

Task 2:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $('#message').hide();
  $('#message').show('slow');
</script>

Task 3:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $('#message').hide();
  $('#message').show('slow');
  $('.removable')
</script>

Task 4: 

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $('#message').hide();
  $('#message').show('slow');
  $('.removable').click(function();{
   });
</script>

Please get back to me quickly

Take out the semicolon right after the parenthesis here:

$('.removable').click(function(){ });

Also try string the .hide() and the .slow() methods together.

How do I string the hide and slow together?

You need to chain them together like this:

$('#message').hide().show('slow');
