HTML Fails to Reference JavaScript File

Question

In the head of my document, I have two script references:

This is my html code

  <script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.8.0.js"></script>
  <script src='Newproject\Success.js'></script>

In my Success.js file, I have the following jQuery code:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('div').hover(function(){
        $(this).addClass('hover')
    },
    function(){
        $(this).removeClass('hover')
    )};
)};

Despite that I have referenced Success.js in my HTML file, the code does not execute.

btw: when referencing files on the server(and urls in general) you never use backslashes, just the good old /. — garglblarg

Change )} to }):

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('div').hover(
        function(){
            $(this).addClass('hover')
        },
        function(){
            $(this).removeClass('hover')
        }
    ) // it is }) indeed
});

He's passing two functions into the .hover jQuery method but ends the parentheses before the end of his second parameter. Right.

@Crowes Can you use your eyes to watch carefully?

if they are in the same folder then your script src path should just be Success.js

<script src='Success.js'></script>

Yeah, this or src="/Success.js". Your document is looking for the folder Newproject with a .js file in it, whereas the .js file is at root.
