jQuery Syntax Error in on click function

Question

I am having trouble with my code. Specifically it is my jQuery click function. This may seem trivial, but I could not get it to respond whenever I tried to click a link. I tried to debug it, I updated to the latest jQuery. Then I put it into a Jsfiddle bin with the latest jQuery .... no dice. I honestly don't have a clue what I did wrong. I get a highlighted error on my ("nav a") jQuery selector but I have double checked with the internet and that is the proper syntax and it still won't run. Below is my code. I cannot paste full HTML in here as it would become links as well.

$(document.ready(function(){
  $("nav a").on("click",function(){
       alert("What's WRONGG!");
   });

});

I am using jQuery 2.1.4 on local and 2.1.3 on jsfiddle if that makes a difference. Here is the fiddle.

One problem is a missing end paren on $(document

I believe you are missing a parenthesis on your $(document)

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("nav a").on("click",function(){
       alert("What's WRONGG!");
   });

});

You have missed ) bracket near $(document

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("nav a").on("click",function(){
       alert("What's WRONGG!");
   });

});
