Hi there,
First thing to do is make sure the reference to the jquery.js file is
correct. That sort of error usually occurs when it can't find the
jquery.js file. In Firefox, open the script tab in Firebug (If you
don't have this extension, get it here: http://www.getfirebug.com/ )
and click on the file name heading. you should see two file names, one
for jquery.js and one for the current html page. Select the jquery.js
file and look in the Script inspector to see if it's giving you a 404.
You'll probably want to add a return false; after the alert line, too.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").click(function(){
alert("Thanks for visiting!");
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://jquery.com/";>jQuery</a>

Seems pretty simple but does not work for me in IE 7, firefox, or
Opera. I am running this in IIS on my XP Pro box. IE just gives me
the error Object Expected.
