You need to wrap your script in a ready block.
$(document).ready(function(){
//your stuff here
});
The reason is that the <a> links dont exist yet when your run your script.
Browsers run scripts the second they see them and dont wait for the rest of
the page to load. The ready block makes the script wait until the page
shows up before running.
