Javascript/JQuery having an alert pop up when page loads won't work

Question

I'm trying to get an alert to pop up when my web page loads. The Javascript code works when inline coded to the html code, but when placed into a separate file and linked/saved as script.js nothing happens. Can anyone by chance see what I'm doing wrong? Here's the code, if you happen to see where I'm going wrong I would really appreciate it.

 $(document).ready(function() { alert("Welcome!); });

 background-color:Teal; } h1 { text-align: center; color: Gold; font-family: arial; font-size: 25pt; } #p1 { text-align: left; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14pt; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 300px; } #p2 { text-align: right; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14pt; margin-top: 100px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 300px; margin-right: 10px; } #p3 { text-align: left; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14pt; margin-top: 100px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 300px; } #img1 { float: left; padding-right: 15px; width: 200px; } #img2 { float: right; padding-left: 15px; width: 200px; } a:link { color: gold; background-color: transparent; font-family: arial; text-decoration: none; } a:visited { color: gold; background-color: transparent; font-family: arial; text-decoration: none; } a:hover { color: white; background-color: transparent; font-family: arial; text-decoration: underline; } a:active { color: lime; background-color: transparent; font-family: arial; text-decoration: underline; }

Again any insight would be much appreciated.

You were missing the end double quotes in your alert. I fixed it for you in the snippet below.

Note: It's redundant to include jQuery twice , so remove that. (If the reason you included jQuery twice was because it asks you to in the snippet, you don't have to if you already included it from somewhere else).

 $(document).ready(function() { alert("Welcome!"); });

 background-color:Teal; } h1 { text-align: center; color: Gold; font-family: arial; font-size: 25pt; } #p1 { text-align: left; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14pt; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 300px; } #p2 { text-align: right; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14pt; margin-top: 100px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 300px; margin-right: 10px; } #p3 { text-align: left; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14pt; margin-top: 100px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 300px; } #img1 { float: left; padding-right: 15px; width: 200px; } #img2 { float: right; padding-left: 15px; width: 200px; } a:link { color: gold; background-color: transparent; font-family: arial; text-decoration: none; } a:visited { color: gold; background-color: transparent; font-family: arial; text-decoration: none; } a:hover { color: white; background-color: transparent; font-family: arial; text-decoration: underline; } a:active { color: lime; background-color: transparent; font-family: arial; text-decoration: underline; }
