Nothing happens. Looking in Firebug I don’t see any events triggered.

Maybe you’re not enqueing your JS properly and it’s being loaded before the DOM.

Looking above is is included correctly? I am loading them in my theme’s functions file.

Looks like it, but you know we have to stab in the dark when we can’t see the site. What about wrapping a document.ready around your JS just in case?

That is what I was thinking. In the exmaple they didn’t use that. How would that look?

It worked! Thanks. But what should show in ‘display’?
function view_site_description(){
echo get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
die();
}function view_site_description(){
echo get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
die();
}
