I am doing something wrong with including jquery in my site. Please help !

This is how I have included jquery in my site:

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/gallery.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

This is the code in gallery.js:

$("#imageGallery a").click(function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    var href = $(this).attr("href");
    console.log(href);

    });

This is the html:

<ul id="imageGallery" class="none">

If anybody ses the problem please let me know.

Im guessing you might be pointing at the wrong location for your gallery.js file.

Try:

<script src="/js/gallery.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

<!-- Or -->

<script src="./js/gallery.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

What is the file structure for your root, the html file importing the file and the js folder?

For example:

/root/index.html

/root/js/gallery.js

Thank you Ashley Skilton, I will try this. I checked it in the console there is something wrong with both paths. The first says failed to load resources, which is the link to jquery. And the other is saying $ is not defined.
