jquery

[eluser]gunner0007[/eluser]
Hi guys, badly needing help here. I have stared to learn Javascript along with Jquery and have tried everything from reading the user guides to every tutorial I can find but to no avail cannot get Jquery to work.

First question...when it comes to the view. I have my script as this...

Code:

language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.js">

(I took out the 'script' because it kept saying removed)





I've tried downloading the jquery and pointing the src to it to no avail.

Second question... Do I need to do anything in the controller such as loading the javascript library?

Last....Here is what I am doing to test this but not getting the sliding feature or anything else for that matter.

[removed]
$("p").slideDown("4000");
$("p.slow").addClass("neat");
$("p.slow").show("4000");
[removed]

<p class="slow">Hopefully this will show a bit later.</p>

<p class="neat">here is the paragraph with the stuff.</p>


I know this is just basic jquery but just wanna get this working so at least when I go to make apps I have somewhere to start from.
Will appreciate the help.

check this out mate. https://github.com/sirfilip/ci it is a project i started for newbies. there is jquery usage in there. and this is how i add additional scripts https://github.com/sirfilip/ci/blob/mast...ts.php#L66 .

If this is for newbies then maybe I'm way over my head on this one. Much thanks for your help but I'm completely lost on this project. I just simply want to get jquery working then I can go from there.

What do you see using Firefox html view?
Alomst sounds like a simple path issue in your script tags.

I use this script to fetch jQuery and it works fine.

Code:

<$cript>type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></$cript>

This always gets me the latest jQuery code.

I don't see anything. The simple code I have there is not giving any results. Does the code there look wrong to you? I mean I would think a simple slide down or show would show some kind of animation. When I use jsfiddle.net it all works. Has to be something with CI.

And when you say path issue. Is there anything else I need to do other than this src source to get jquery to work? Is this the right format?


lastly....when i actually type the code in the console it works...not sure what else to make from there.

ahhhhh foolish me!!!!! I had the scripts all above the the actual html code. Wow how embarassing.

InsiteFX,
