title: Tablesorter not loading in Django
body: <p>Tablesorter doesn’t work for my Django-based website.  Clicking on the table header doesn’t do anything, and I didn’t see any error message either.  The console error message for jquery.tablesorter displays only:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token &lt;    jquery.tablesorter.js:1 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I feel like something simple was missing…
  The JS plugins were invoked with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% load static %}
  &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.tablesorter.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;table id="myTable" class="tablesorter"&gt;
  &lt;thead&gt;…&lt;/thead&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;…&lt;/tbody&gt;
  …
  &lt;script&gt;
  $(document).ready(function(){
          $('#myTable').tablesorter({sortList: [[0,0], [1,0]]});
      }
  );
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The JS files are in a static folder with the following structure:</p>
  
  <pre><code>myvenv
