 * Hi all,
 * I try to integrate the following javascript code in my plugin
 * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).
   The maximum number of lines of code that you can post in these forums is **ten
   lines**. Please use the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)]_
 * for displaying a metabox if a certain category is selected. But the problem is
   that the following error occurs: jQuery is not defined.
    This is strange since
   I load correctly jQuery with wp_register_script and I use it elsewhere in my 
   plugin.
 * Can you please help me with this?
    Thank you very much!!

 * wp_register_script doesn’t load the script, wp_enqueue_script does.
 * But you can just use wp_enqueue_script(‘somescript’, ‘/Where’, array(‘jquery’))
   
   See [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script)
   for details.
 * If that is not your problem, please let me know.
 * Marvin
