* So I can get the below to work on a normal html page, but when I put the CSS
in the style.css and place the div in the php file and place the script in the
header below the `` it just doesn’t work. The CSS & the divs
work, however the script will not work. Any clues?
* Thanks

* Btw you really should be using [a browser developer tool](http://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/)
to debug why jQuery isn’t working, you will get some actual error messages.
