JavaScript jQuery Basics (2014) Introduction to jQuery Include jQuery in a Project

Hello - I'm on Challenge Task 1 of 1 in jQuery Basics. It is asking that I include the CDN version of the jQuery script.

I have added this: <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"</script>

Which is listed as the CDN link at api.jquery.com

But I keep getting a "Bummer"

I've tried other CDN links from Google and Microsoft and I am getting the same result.

index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Take Evasive Action</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" title="no title" charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
    <p class="warning">
      <span>It's A Trap!</span>
    </p>
    <div class="image">
        <img src="img/ackbar.gif">
    </div>
  <script   src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"</script>
    <script src="js/app.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
</body>
</html>

Hey Justin,

The most up-to-date jQuery code can be found at http://code.jquery.com. I suggest using the jQuery Core 3.0.0.min.js version. Clicking on that will give you the correct snippet to paste into your HTML file.

Hope that helps!
