jQuery - hide() isn't functioning!

I added this line of code :- " jQuery(".warning").hide(); " to app.js in the workspace, but it fails to hide the 'warning' (It's a Trap).

//Here is the HTML file (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="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
    <script src="js/app.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
</body>
</html>

That's not giving me anything. Can you post your code following the Markdown Cheatsheet?

Hi Shikhar,

Can you post your HTML and jQuery code?

It looks like you gave the correct answer but it got deleted. Might be you deleted it yourself.

I changed this comment to an answer and marked it as "best" so you get your points for providing a best answer. :)

I was running into the same issue, but pressing doing a hard refresh (by pressing Shift + refresh button in Chrome) fixed it.

Looks like the Treehouse workspace text editor doesn't like single-quotes around the .warning class . I had previously wrote the code $('.warning').hide(); with single-quotes, then replaced the single-quotes with double-quotes and it worked. Go figure...
