JQuery not working;simple alert("hello");

Question

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-2.0.3.min.js">
    alert("hello");
</script>

I wrote an inline function that for some reason when I ran onclick says it doesn't exists so I tried to simplify it completely till it works but I found out even this code doesn't work. It does work on a empty page though!It is located under all my other code in said page; no body tags only DIVs - right after the last div .Maybe it is because of the frameworks I'm using? I have firebase/angularjs/nodejs. I also tried to do document ready calls and console.log(); getting no errors but also nothing popping up either. EDIT: it is literally not a duplicate because I tried all other solutions. Here is more code: I tried to put it into the last div and outside of it.

<!-- <a class="btn-for-pw" ng-href="">Forgot Password?</a> -->

              </form><!-- end of #signupForm -->

          </div>

          <!--Footer-->
          <div class="modal-footer text-center">
              <a ng-href="#/register">Create an Account</a>
          </div>

      </div>
      <!--/Form with header-->

  </div>
  </div>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-2.0.3.min.js"/>
<script>
    alert("hello");
</script>

I don't really understand what you mean by that.. But try to look at this [fiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/ctsvre1y/2/) vs this [fiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/ctsvre1y/) that is similar to your code. Try to run those. — Shadow Fiend, Sep 29 '17 at 01:58
What I was trying to say was I tried both of these at the location in the code provided(the first fiddle being what is in my current code) and nether did anything. — user2178335, Sep 29 '17 at 02:02
have you notice that you don't have `` in your jquery code? Try to look at the path also if its correct.. — Shadow Fiend, Sep 29 '17 at 02:05

Try putting another script tag after you include your jQuery source. as the script inside will be disregarded.

Here is a jjsFiddle

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-2.0.3.min.js"/>
<script>
    alert("hello");
</script>

Good luck :-)

same thing nothing pops up. I will restart my chrome just to make sure again. – user2178335 Sep 29 '17 at 01:44
I included a jsfiddle that you can have a look at. – Hayden Passmore Sep 29 '17 at 01:47
Make sure you have this code in a .html file – Hayden Passmore Sep 29 '17 at 01:48
I included more code. It is an html file. – user2178335 Sep 29 '17 at 01:49
Idk if it helps though because it is just the end of the form for signing in. – user2178335 Sep 29 '17 at 01:49
Does it work if you remove the `` line all together? Also does your console output any error? – Hayden Passmore Sep 29 '17 at 01:52
I been stuck on this for a while hence like I tried all the stack overflow stuff. And I think so because there is a javascript folder with a jQuery.3.11.min file thing, but simple inline code doesnt work for some reason. My problem is also I don't see how anything is connected because no includes of any kind - ( this is for an actual site that I barley got on board with) – user2178335 Sep 29 '17 at 01:56
And yeah nothing thrown at all. – user2178335 Sep 29 '17 at 01:57
Thanks for your help. I just don't want to ask for help from work because trying to impress :P – user2178335 Sep 29 '17 at 01:58
Its a bit hard to figure out what is going wrong from here. All I can think of is that you are running the wrong file all together for example you may have made a copy of the file and are trying to run the old version (This may seem silly but it catches people out more often than not). – Hayden Passmore Sep 29 '17 at 02:08
I actually have a counter to that: when I had my inline function it was def throwing me errors that the function didnt exist and stopped when I deleted it from said file. – user2178335 Sep 29 '17 at 02:11
whatever im just gonna select this answer and talk to work .D:< Thanks anyway guyssssssssssss. – user2178335 Sep 29 '17 at 02:42
Please let me know how you go and I can edit my answer to fit – Hayden Passmore Sep 29 '17 at 02:43
