Just not processing the jQuery function

I also have know idea why it is not writing to the console. I looks exactly the same as on the video Tried the ctrl + F5 and cleared the chrome browser cache.

Here is the screen shot. http://picpaste.com/pics/Captureup-c7ZVbrr8.1456348134.JPG

Hey Aaron,

Looks like you have a syntax error because you added an extra ) parenthesis.

$('#imageGallery a').click(function (event)) {  // <--- syntax error extra parenthesis
    event.preventDefault();
    var href = $(this).attr('href');
    console.log(href);
});

change it to this and you should be good to go:

$('#imageGallery a').click(function (event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    var href = $(this).attr('href');
    console.log(href);
});
