JQuery Plugin - Carousel/Slick.

Hey guys, I have been trying to get this plugin to work in my HTML file and everything I have tried has failed. I am pulling my hair out. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I know Jquery and and slick.css are working because I added some lines of code in the "main.js" file that the html is linked to and added some custom styling in the slick.css to test if its working. It is literally everything but the plugin file. I have tried linking to a CDN, downloading the files, but nothing seems to work.

Here is my HTML file:

<!DOCTYPE html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="slick/slick.css"></link> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="slick/slick-theme.css"></link>

</head>

<body class="blue">

<div class="your-class"> <div>your content</div> <div>your content</div> <div>your content</div> </div>

<script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="slick/slick.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="js/main.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script> $("your-class").slick({ dots: true; });

</script>

Are you missing the final </script> in your file?

No, when I copied and pasted my code I left that out by mistake. It is in my actual file. (I corrected the typo above). So I am not sure what is the problem.
