Courses Plus Student 8,981 Pointscode not working
I could not find the text to copy and paste on jquery website so I copied from video and pasted in here:
<title>Take Evasive Action</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" title="no title" charset="utf-8">
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
</head>```
but for some reason the following code does not work and I am guessing it is caused by
the *<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>*
```function myCode() {
$(".warning").hide().show("slow");
}
$(document).ready(myCode);```

Courses Plus Student 8,981 PointsMany thanks Ari, that solved it I followed your instructions and then copy pasted * <script src= https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js></script>* into index.html file and then code worked.

19,323 Pointsbtw you dont need to define a separate function to call, you can the whole function as the callback function to .ready() method. This is how its done:
See how elegant it looks. (P.S.: Just an advice , but your way is the correct way as well)(:

Courses Plus Student 8,981 PointsHiya Ari! For my education and perhaps others, could you please tell me what this code *the link : <script src= https://cdnjs.cloudfl..........*is doing, I think it is loading a library (a collection of code?) which is some sort of reference needed for jquery to function by way of reference; but then why did the other reference not work? Could you explain please?

19,323 PointsjQuery is a library extended on JavaScript, okay? Its not a framework or a language itself, its just a library that extends the JavaScript. In order to browser to understand the jQuery library, we have a couple of ways to point our browser to the jQuery library itself. First one is the easiest way in my opinion, download the library itself and mention the path to the library in script tags in the head tags of your HTML. With jQuery running on your local machine, you could do development offline as well. But with the second option , i.e. point the direction to the library's link , i mean the url, needs an internet connection. When your browser loads the DOM, browser looks for scripts included in your HTML in order to read 'em and load on the front end. So it goes to the link we mentioned in the script tags , fetch all the data behind the scenes and now browser has the ability to understand the code. I think its pretty cool, right? (:
