Why doesn't this work?

Question

On the browser it says on the console $ is not defined even though I made a script tag that has a src attribute to "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.js".

Answer 1

I found out the solution. To copy all the code from the website, paste it in a js file, and link it to there instead.

Answer 2

Um, what?!

Answer 3

::sk::, it was on a windows computer, and I'm on mobile...

Answer 4

Can you post a (partial) MWE that shows the behaviour you describe _as code_? Thx!

Answer 5

Post a code please, so that others can have a look at it.
