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:

 index \<%= javascript\_include\_tag "jo.js" %\> \<%= stylesheet\_link\_tag "jcss" %\> 

Click Me!

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](http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en?hl=en)

Good luck!
