jquery in included javascript file
<p>I am new to jquery and javascript so I haven't been able to figure this problem out; nor have my google-fu skills helping me today.</p>

<p>I developed a page with HTML and Javascript/Jquery, placing all the jquery between script tags and all was well.  When I was done the page I realized that I wanted the same javascript on another page so I put all that jquery/javascript into an external file and tried to include it.</p>

<p>That's where things went downhill.  The javascript doesn't work at all on the initial page.  Nothing happens.  I checked the error console and I am not getting any JS errors.  </p>

<p>Why does this not work and how do I get it to work?  </p>

<p>This is the JS code in the external file: <a href="http://pastebin.com/wHBmbHLs" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/wHBmbHLs</a></p>
