You are trying to *run* jquery-1.3.2.min.js on your Windows box. The error message you're getting is from Windows Script Host [1], which executes JavaScript files that you run directly on Windows.
jQuery is not a program that you install or run on your PC. Instead, you include it in a web page using a <script> tag in the HTML code. Here's why the things you tried didn't work: Reinstalling Java didn't help, because jQuery is not Java. It's JavaScript. Reinstalling IE8 didn't help, because you weren't loading jQuery into IE8 or any other browser. Cleaning your registry didn't help, because there was nothing wrong with your registry. The error message you received is what you should expect if you try to run jQuery in Windows, outside of any browser. 'document' is undefined because there is no document object in Windows Script Host, only in a browser. If you take a look at the jQuery docs page [2] you'll find some tutorials and introductions to jQuery. A good one to start with is How jQuery Works [3]. But I would skip the part about downloading jQuery. Don't download it at all, just use a <script> tag pointing to Google's copy, as shown in the "Complete Example" on that page. Try using jQuery in a web page as described in these tutorials, and then give a shout back with any questions! -Mike [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Script_Host [2]: http://docs.jquery.com/ [3]: http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:How_jQuery_Works On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 2:48 PM, Cooter1341 <ajc1...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Upon trying to download JQuery in either Internet Explorer or Firefox, > I get the same error. > > Windows Script Host > > Script: C:\Documents and Settings\Couture\Local Settings|Temporary > Interent Files\Content.IE5\RVWA8J02\jquery-1.3.2.min[1].js > Line: 12 > Char: 6947 > Error: 'document' is undedined > Code: 800A1391 > Source: Microsoft JScript runtime error > > > I have tried reinstalling Java, Internet Explorer 8, bought Registry > Mechanic and cleaned my registry, I have tried a lot of things > recommended on web sites, but nothing works.
