Why is jQuery not working properly? [closed]

Upon first glance, both cycle.js and your javascript code need to be in the page AFTER jQuery is included. Right now, they are before so they both generate errors that jQuery is not defined. Make sure that jQuery is included first before you try to use jQuery.

In the future, I would also strongly suggest that you always check your browser’s error console or your debuggers console for javascript errors as this is one of the first places to look when things are not working for a clue.
