JQuery not working on site or locally but works in jsfiddle

Question

JQuery is not running on my site or locally. Here is my site: http://michigangurudwara.com/pclass/

I'm simply testing out JQuery by trying out the show/hide functions. When you hover over "Test", more text should drop down underneath it. Here is what I'm trying to accomplish: http://jsfiddle.net/nGY6K/2/

Anyone know why it's not working?

<link langauge="javascript" type="text/javascript" href="jquery.js" />

This is not the way to load scripts.

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

This is the way to load scripts. (edited to make it more sensible)

Also, "language" is spelt wrong, and that attribute is not necessary any more (it [has been deprecated](http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.1)). – GregL Dec 21 '11 at 06:03
True - didn't even notice that. And since it's optional, nothing complained. Edited. – Amadan Dec 21 '11 at 06:07
@GregL - He's using the xHTML doctype. – Joseph Silber Dec 21 '11 at 06:07
@JosephSilber: Still, `type` is the only required attribute. – Amadan Dec 21 '11 at 06:08
Until Google succeeds in getting cross-browser support for Dart (I really hope they don't). – Joseph Silber Dec 21 '11 at 06:11
@JosephSilber: If so, it will have its own mimetype, and no implementing browser would be silly enough to execute `text/javascript` as Dart code. `type` is enough. – Amadan Dec 21 '11 at 06:13

You are not linking to jQuery correctly.

Change this:

<link langauge="javascript" type="text/javascript" href="jquery.js" />

to this:

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