How to insert jQuery code? Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined in view razor code

Question

I have the following Asp.Net MVC 4 razor code at the end of the file.

....
@section Scripts {
    @Scripts.Render(\"~/bundles/jqueryval\")
}



        

Answer 1

Your Script is called before the jquery is even loaded so it doesn't know what $ means. Try having the jquery scripts loaded in the head section of your layout file.
