Bootstrap Set Up Errors: Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined & Uncaught Error: Bootstrap's JavaScript requires jQuery

Question

I am creating a bootstrap template. I am getting two errors, I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. When I search for similar issues, it seems to be the scripts are out of order, but I think they are correctly positioned.

THE TWO ERRORS:

Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

Uncaught Error: Bootstrap's JavaScript requires jQuery

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>

Dude, you should link the jQuery lib not jQuery UI )

Just add this code

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

got from here: https://developers.google.com/speed/libraries/

The answer is in the error. You need jQuery to be referenced first, then Bootstrap CSS, then you need boostrap js. You have jQuery UI, but not the jQuery JS file. To use jQuery UI, you need both jQuery normal file and then the UI file

List in order like this:

Bootstrap CSS file
Your CSS file
jQuery js lib
Bootstrap js lib
jQuery UI js lib

jQuery UI is built on top of jQuery so you will need to include jQuery as well.

<!--jquery CDN-->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

<!-- Bootstrap's JavaScript -->
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js" integrity="sha512-K1qjQ+NcF2TYO/eI3M6v8EiNYZfA95pQumfvcVrTHtwQVDG+aHRqLi/ETn2uB+1JqwYqVG3LIvdm9lj6imS/pQ==" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

isn't that this:  <script src="ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.4/…>

Griffith Over a year ago

is just a HTML comment, it won't actually fetch the jQuery library. You need to replace it with the line I've added.
