I'm very new to jQuery and javascript in general, so maybe there's something I've missed.
I have a html page with a link to the latest version of jQuery in the head...
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
But any jQuery code that I try to execute anywhere... in the head or a separate .js file, won't run when I load the page. However normal javascript does.
Firebug acknowledges that the jQuery library has loaded when I click Script or Dom... the console will even accept and run my jQuery code with no hassles.
Here's the html... yes it is html5 and it works fine all browsers besides Opera and IE.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<head>
<title>Produkshunator</title>

Is there something I need to know that isn't in the tutorials?
