$ is not a function - jQuery error

Question

I have the jQuery loaded fine, I\'ve quadruple-checked, though I\'m getting this error in FireBug \"$ is not a function\" and my code doesn\'t work.

Here\'s my code:

Answer 1

There are two possible reasons for that error:

1. your jquery script file referencing is not valid

2. try to put your jquery code in document.ready, like this:

   $(document).ready(function(){

   ....your code....

   });
