OK, forgive my tone here...I'm actually quite flabbergasted. I ***FINALLY*** get around to trying out jquery.
Oh, I'm sure that quite obviously I'm doing something wrong, because after following the first few paragraphs of the "How JQuery Works" section (clicking a link launches an alert box...uh ok, no fine) it does absolutely nothing. Wow. So far the javascript skills required for testing this are sub-fetal so I can't imagine what black magic I might possibly have introduced into this 79Kb albatross. No, OK, I won't condemn it yet, but can somebody enlighten me? (I thought this would be easy.)
