Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 15,918 PointsProblem with quiz question in Ajax Basics course. Involving jQuery element selection
A click event handler for all HTML button elements on a page is to be made using jQuery.
Code given: $(__).click(function(){});
I filled in the blank as so $(“button”).click(function(){});
My solution returns an error and I can’t figure out why.
I’d be thankful for any help with this

If you still have trouble, try restarting your browser between attempts.
Update: I didn't notice this before, but the quote marks you have in your sample above are word-processing style "curly" quotes (or "smart quotes"). For programming (and quizzes), you need to use "straight" quotes.
Here's a sample in a larger font:
Use these 
" " not these “ ”

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 15,918 PointsThanks for answering, Steven. Unfortunately I still get an error. I tried about a dozen times. A typo isn’t the issue here. I’m a little baffled to be honest.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 15,918 PointsI didn't even notice because when I typed the quotes on my tablet (which I was previously using to answer the questions), the quotes looked like straight quotes.
I changed to a laptop now, did it again and it finally worked. Thanks again.
