just started the jQuery tutorial and stuck on the ready event part. Opening the html and file and clicking the "jQuery" link, no alert pop-up comes up like it's supposed to, it goes straight to the jQuery home page instead.

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Demo</title>
</head>

<body>
    <a href="http://jquery.com/">jQuery</a>
    <script src="jquery.js"></script>
    <script>
    </script>
    <script>
        $( document ).ready(function() {
            $( "a" ).click(function( event ) {
                alert( "Thanks for checking" );
            });
        });


    </script>
</body>
</html>

After checking with Firebug, the two errors are ReferenceError: define is not defined for the jquery.js file and the ReferenceError: $ is not defined for the html file. Inserting javascript/jquery instead of jquery.js into the <script src = ... has helped to get rid of the first ReferenceError, $ is not defined still comes up.

I'm not sure what problem you're having, but the article doesn't have any errors in it and copy/pasting your code into an actual page produces no problems: http://jsbin.com/fohiqifezefa/1/edit

Please use IRC, Stack Overflow, or the forums for help.

The solution to this turned out to be using the minimized (jquery.min.js) file instead of jquery.js. Cheers.
