17,524 PointsWhen I try and add the line for the CDN I get an error : "Error in precompile" WHY?
This is regardless of whether I use jQuery 1.x ,2.x or 3.x or minified versions
for example :
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js" integrity="sha256-Qw82+bXyGq6MydymqBxNPYTaUXXq7c8v3CwiYwLLNXU=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
I have tried removing the integrity / crossorigin parameters but it doesn't make any difference.
And I am inserting this into the index.html in the correct location - just above the call the js/app.js
<!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="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js" integrity="sha256-Qw82+bXyGq6MydymqBxNPYTaUXXq7c8v3CwiYwLLNXU=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="js/app.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
</body>

Good news, everyone! I've heard back from our developers that this Code Challenge should now be fixed! Thanks so much for your patience and efforts!

If you're looking to use a CDN for jQuery, why not use Google Hosted Libraries? Short and simple.
<!-- 2.x snippet -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- 3.x snippet -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
</body>
As far as your error goes, do you have any more info? Keep in mind that 1.12.4 is a bit dated.

17,524 PointsI only used the code.jquery.com CDN as it was explicitly specified in the exercise. Regardess though - I tried the googleapi.com as you suggested - same result. What does "Error in precomile" actually mean in this insatnce - I've seen it before in ruby on Rails .. but this is Javascript??

17,524 PointsLooking a bit deeper : it seems it's a fault with treehouse as several other students are getting the same problem.

Please advise once fixed. And thanks!!

Andrew Chalkley
Treehouse Guest TeacherIf you use the code.jquery.com CDN it should work fine. Let me know how you get on.

4,731 PointsHi Luis,
So sorry the CC isn't loading for you- I don't seem to be having any troubles with it on my end. Do you mind emailing Support with a screenshot of what you're seeing and, if possible, the console of the page (via developer's tools). This may shed some light on the issue. Thanks! help@teamtreehouse.com
Luis Pedro Juárez Aguilar
5,769 PointsYes. thank you. I'm having this trouble with all challenges and didn't realize it. I'm sending an e-mail with all the info
