Dear davidlacho, in case the jQuery file is not added, add this piece of code to the index.html: 

<script
  src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"
  integrity="sha256-hwg4gsxgFZhOsEEamdOYGBf13FyQuiTwlAQgxVSNgt4="
  crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

This is the jQuery CDN, and it's the fastest method of adding jquery to any site.

You can also download the jquery file from This link; And then upload this to the workspaces, then link it to your index.html file with a relative URL like so: 

<script src="url-to-the-jquery-file.js"></script>

I suggest adding the CDN link because it's the easiest way. Hope that helps. :sparkles:
