I tried to include every CDN on internet with every version of jquery, and this task is not working.

Error in precompile test

<head>
    <title>Take Evasive Action</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" title="no title" charset="utf-8">

Hey Matija

There seems to be a newly occurred glitch in this particular challenge. Support and Andrew Chalkley have been made aware. Hopefully it is corrected soon. In the meantime, you can bypass the challenge by using the navigation on the top of the video window. Come back and give it a try in a few days. :)

Keep Coding! :dizzy:

It looks like it's an error that's happening outside the scope I can fix. I've opened an issue with the Dev team.

I just tried this again this morning and it worked with this code...

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"></script>

No, still not working! Now i get error "You didn't use the CDN hosted version of jQuery. Try again." with these CDN's : <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-3.1.0.js"></script> These are CDN's hosted on Microsoft and Google servers links are on Jquery official page. I am very dissapointed and moving to another course, maybe to another site Treehouse have many problems with those course tasks

The code challenge task asks "Find the CDN hosted jQuery javascript file on the code.jquery.com and include it in the project."

If you visit http://code.jquery.com you can add any of the code.jquery.com hosted CDN files.
