title: jQuery causing page to fail at a fundamental level... Why?
body: <p>I have a function that is not seen as being in scope as long as I have a reference to jQuery is defined. If I comment that reference the call to the function works. I have other pages that reference jQuery the same way and they work. Its really frustrating. What gives?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML&gt;
  &lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  &lt;title&gt;Anything&lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js" /&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
      function test() {
          alert('This works')
      }
  &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
  text
  &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
      test();
  &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
