Suraj No... I said this... Try to imagine what do browser: * Case 1: - Browser load jquery lib - Browser load trial.js and because jquery is loaded, not error happen and all works right * Case 2: - Browser load trial.js BUT encounter a call to undefined function $ (remember at this point jquery is NOT loaded) - Browser load jquery BUT trial.js is been loaded with error then it have not effect

Suraj Its normal... You use jquery functions BEFORE that its loaded. In normal case, all scripts are loaded sequentially, then, you can use jquery only AFTER jquery.js is loaded

KrOW, so as expected in case 2 , after some time (when jQuery is also been loaded) that function should work??

KrOW , the whole HTML,css,js code is same as the above in moving circle's code the only difference is about adding external script tag and external style tag in HTML file

KrOW https://code.sololearn.com/WsfK0Jgqtj9k/?ref=app See the attached code HTML file is saved as trial.html Css part is saved as trial.css JS part is saved as trial.js And then I linked trial.css and trial.js to trial.html file

KrOW, but if you look at the JavaScript code I have used document.ready() method also... Then shouldn't it work only when the whole document is been loaded

Suraj You use $() function and because jquery is NOT loaded yet, browser cannot call that function (i talking about when script "trial.js" is placed before script "jquery.js")
