jQuery not at all working?
<p>I'm trying to learn jQuery and I don't understand why it doesn't at all work. My index.html is simple, as you can see below:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;JQuery Tutorial&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
    $(function() { alert("Hello world!"); });

    &lt;script src="js/jquery-1.8.0.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I am hosting the website with XAMPP in my local machine, and the file structure is this, under htdocs:</p>

<pre><code>XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs
...
jquerytuts2/
  index.html
  /js
    jquery-1.8.0.js
    jquery-1.8.0.min.js
</code></pre>

<p>The jQuery just displays as it is in the browser, plain text. I've seen this on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and I am using a 2012 MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.1.</p>
