Noob answers Noob:
I think you have to put
$("a").click(function(event){
9 event.preventDefault();
10 alert("Thanks for visiting- babu!");
11 alert("This is my alert");
12 });
in you document.ready function.
$(document).ready(function(){
// Your code here
});
this is a main principle in jquery.
cheers
