 <p>I found the issue. I am referencing JQ version 1.9 because i read in a tutorial that it should automatically pick the latest version in the 1.9 series. It works if i change it to 1.9.0 or 1.9.1. However, i still dont understand why 1.9 didnt work. it should have picked the latest 1.9.* version.</p> <p>But atleast by making it 1.9.1/0 it works from a .js file. </p>
