# using wp_enqueue

 * I’m building a job application form on one page. WordPress reads the HTML just
   fine, but it doesn’t recognize my .css and .js files. I’m putting my code in 
   my child theme functions.php file. The code looks like this:
 * PART THAT WAS ALREADY THERE:
 *     ```
       <?php
       // Exit if accessed directly
       if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
   
       // BEGIN ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION
       // AUTO GENERATED - Do not modify or remove comment markers above or below:
   
       if ( !function_exists( 'chld_thm_cfg_parent_css' ) ):
           function chld_thm_cfg_parent_css() {
               wp_enqueue_style( 'chld_thm_cfg_parent', trailingslashit( get_template_directory_uri() ) . 'style.css' );
           }
       endif;
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'chld_thm_cfg_parent_css' );
   
       // END ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION
       ```
   
 * NOW THE PART I ADDED:
 *     ```
       /*
       Javascript form registration and enqueue follows
       */	
   
       	function my_coding() {
   
       		wp_enqueue_script( 'appForm', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . 'js/appForm.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
   
       		wp_enqueue_script( 'validate', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . 'js/jquery.validate.min.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
   
       		wp_enqueue_style( 'appForm_css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . 'css/appForm.css', array( 'jquery' ) );
   
       		wp_enqueue_style( 'appProcess', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . 'css/appProcess.css', array( 'jquery' ) );
   
       		wp_enqueue_style( 'css_theme', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . 'css/jquery-ui.theme.css', array( 'jquery' ) );
   
       		wp_enqueue_style( 'css_structure', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . 'css/jquery-ui.structure.css', array( 'jquery' ) );
   
                      wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-accordion ', array('jquery') );
   
                      wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-datepicker ', array('jquery') );
   
                      wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-tabs ', array('jquery') );
   
       	}
   
       	add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_coding' );
   
       /*
       Javascript form ends
       */
       ```
   
 * I tried registering my code before enqueueing it, but that made no difference.
   Please, can someone tell me what I’m missing and/or what I’m doing wrong? Please???
   Desperation is setting in!

 * I tried this code but it didn’t help. As a frustrated code-writing newbie I would
   appreciate any help I can get!
