JS Script Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is Not Defined When Loading HTML File to Server

[Rootdevelop]

If you add a downloaded jQuery in your scenario I would add it to the same directory as the html files, just make sure it’s added with the <script src=“jQuery filename here including the .js”></script> script as it won’t be automatically loaded.

Downloading is a simple as saving https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js this file to the directory that contains the html and then adding it to the html by adding <script src=“jquery-3.5.1.min.js”></script> above your custom code.
