jQuery won't run
<p>Here is the code I'm using verbatim:</p>

<pre><code>var slide_pos = 0;
var slide_len = 0;

$(document).ready(function() {

    slide_len = $(".slideshow_item").size() - 1;

    $(".slideshow_item:gt(0)").hide();

    slide_int = setInterval(function() {

        slide_cur = $(".slideshow_item:eq(" + slide_pos + ")");
        slide_cur.fadeOut(2000);

        slide_pos = (slide_pos == slide_len ? 0 : (slide_pos + 1));

        slide_cur = $(".slideshow_item:eq(" + slide_pos + ")");
        slide_cur.fadeIn(2000);

    }, 5000);

});
</code></pre>

<p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/jhatweb/MNFTT/1/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/jhatweb/MNFTT/1/</a> (im using all the code exactly as it is in this jsfiddle. CSS, HTML, and jQuery.)</p>

<p>I inserted the jquery code in script tags before the closing body tag and I know that jQuery library is working because Modernizr is working.</p>

<p>I'm clueless as to why the code won't run.</p>

<p>Thanks for any help.</p>
