Can't get jquery to work

hi all,

I wanted to start and learn jquery but i can't even get it to work :s.
I followed a tutorial and did the exact same thing but it doesn't work for me.
It is probably something stupid but I don't see it.

Code:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Index</title>
<link href="styletest.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.8.0.min.js"</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

alert("yay");
});
</script>
</head>

Did you download the latest "jquery-1.8.0.min.js" and put it into the same folder as your HTML page?

You forgot the closing > bracket for the first <script> tag (right before </script>)

If you don't want to download a copy of jquery you can as well use one of the many CDN providers for it, for example

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.0.min.js"></script>
