Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined

Question

I keep getting Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined in Chrome. Also, tried including the js file just after the closing body tag but doesn't work.

HTML code:

<head>
<title>Task 7 | Jquery</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css"/>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery/userlist.js"></script>

</head>
<body>

    <input id="filter" type="text" placeholder="Search" />

 </body>

JQuery script:

$(document).ready(function () {  // getting the error here
$('#filter').click(function () {
    $("#filter").hide();
});
});

are you getting this error in other browsers as well or is it just Chrome...? And have you included jQuery script...? — Sudhir Bastakoti, Oct 09 '12 at 06:08

You are getting that error because you did not include the jQuery Library.

Download jQuery and add it same way you added jquery/userlist.js before.

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery/userlist.js"></script>
