Rails with Jquery/running into a problem

I'm going through some beginner tutorials for Jquery, and Im running into an issue. The whole purpose of the tutorial is to get a red box to fade out when clicking on the click me link, this does not work for me

Could my setup be configured incorrectly? correctly.

I put my jquery-1.3.2.js in my projects /public/javascripts folder.

I created a js script called jo.js in /public/javascripts that looks like this: $(document).ready(function() {     $('a').click(function() {         $('#box').fadeout('slow');       });

    });

This is how I referenced the jo.js file in my html file: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd&quot;&gt;

<html>   <head>     <script src="/javascripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>   <title>index</title>   <%= javascript_include_tag "jo.js" %>   <%= stylesheet_link_tag "jcss" %>

</head> <body>   <div id="box"></div>     <a href="#">Click Me!</a> </body> </html>

When i click on the click me link the box above it is supposed to fade out, this is not happening.

Thanks

Silly me the function I was calling should be camel cased

Didnt work => $('#box').fadeout('slow'); This worked perfect => $('#box').fadeOut('slow');

Good catch. A good resource for any more jQuery-related questions is http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en?hl=en

Good luck!
