ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $

html, javascript, jquery, referenceerror

Solution

You have to import jQuery before using it:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>

Notice it is using `//` as protocol (not `http://` or `https://`), it means: if your .html file is at a `http://` server, it will get jQuery from `http://ajax.google...`, and if it is at a `https://` server, it will get it from `https://ajax.google...`.

Note: If, while developing, you open your HTML file in your browser instead of in a server, you should specify the protocol, as in this answer, otherwise it won't work:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

Also, you should, if possible, place your .js files at the bottom of the page, right before closing `</body>`. See more in here.

Problem

I am using jQuery. This is my coding on my main page: ``` <script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"> </script> ``` and my script.js is: ``` $(document).ready(function(){ $("#title").click(function () { alert("Works!"); }); }); ``` My full coding can be found here: http://pastie.org/8676656. Using a tool on the browser, I found an error in my javascript code: ``` ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $ ``` on line: ``` $(document).ready(function() { ``` Any help would be appreciated.
