Including jQuery in our project 4/5 task problem

Hello, the instructions for this challenge are: "Add a click event listener with an anonymous function to the selected "removable" elements."

My code is the following:

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

After I check the work it says "Oops! It looks like Task 2 is no longer passing." The task 2 has the following instructions: "In the second script tag, write the jQuery code to hide the div with the id "message" and then show it slowly by passing in the string "slow"."

What em I doing wrong?

This is where you went wrong:

.click(function()

You have your click handler

.click()

and inside an anonymous function with parenthesis and curly brackets.

function(){}

when you put them together you get

.click(function(){});

Hello, this is my new code:

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

Unfortunately this doesn't pass as well.

You forgot the period between the the parenthesis and the click handler.

That should be right.

The reason why it says that "Task 2 is no longer padding" is because you've removed the code that you've entered for Task . You need to keep the ".select" code in your write up to be able to complete task 3.
