Where do I add the JavaScript function to create an Image Gallery?

Fire the plugin Bind the swipebox behaviour on every link with the "swipebox" class.

<script type="text/javascript"> ;( function( $ ) {

$( '.swipebox' ).swipebox();

} )( jQuery ); </script>

I have tried putting the code at the start and end of my HTML but this didn't work. Any help gratefully appreciated!!

The best place is generally right before the closing body tag in your HTML document. Remember to include the source and type attribute in your script tag.

<script src = "script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

In HTML5, the type attribute is no longer required for JavaScript. The default value is "text/javascript".
