title: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
body: <p>I'm getting the error "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token &lt; " when simply trying to include jQuery 1.9.1 in my .Net page. The code for the page is below. I have checked my jQuery 1.9.1 file and it is fine, I have other pages using that same file with no error. I have even tried using jQuery 1.10.2 and got the same error. Without the jQuery script tag I have no errors, and I am lost as to what the issue is.</p>
