Jquery Scripts not running properly when exected through Selenium(SCRIPT5009: '$' is undefined ) in IE 9. But working properly in Web browser console

Question

The below code is not working properly when given with Selenium. It throws this error SCRIPT5009: '$' is undefined in IE 9. But when it is run in Web browser console after removing the "\\" sign it is working fine.

String scripts="var script=document.createElement('script');script.onload = function() {alert(\"Script loaded and ready\");};script.src = \"http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-2.1.4.js\";document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);$(\"*\").hide();";
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(scripts);

Answer 1

Try this,

String scripts="var script=document.createElement('script');
  script.onload = function() {alert('Script loaded and ready');};
  script.src = 'http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-2.1.4.js';
  document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
   $('*').hide();";

just use ' (single quotes) instead of " (double quotes), therefore you wont be needing "\\" .
