How do I Solve This Simple Magento JQuery Problem!

Hello Sir,:)

I want to add some of my own jquery code(given below) in magento 1.7.0.0 for a html tag(given below) that I have on html source of home page(CMS=>pages=>home page=>content=>html).how can I do it? also please tell me that if I want to apply that code on all page then how would I do that? (I have already installed the jquery extension(http://connect20.magentocommerce.com...ento_JQueryLib) so magento is already setup to use jquery).thank you.

here is the jquery code:

<script type="text/javascript\">
$(document).ready(function(){
var pContent = $(’p’).text();
alert (pContent);
});
</script>

here is the html tag(on which i am applying this code):

<p>Happy Shopping!</p>

I think you are very new with magento. Then this is what very simple I suggest you do for this problem.

- Login to back end

- Browse menu: System => Configuration => Design

And you can see "Miscellaneous Scripts" then you can enter any jquery script there

Cheers :)

Your answer is very helpfull and i think that half of the problem is solved.
I have tried the javascript instruction: alert("Happy Shopping!"); in "Miscellaneous Scripts" and it is working fine but the jquery code is not being executed as i told you that I have already installed the jquery extension(http://connect20.magentocommerce.com...ento_JQueryLib but i think this extension is not working can you tell me how to install jquery to magento 1.7.0.0 so that i move on with my jqury code.thank you.

You can edit this file:

app\design\frontend\<your theme folder>\<your theme name>\template\page\html\footer.phtml

Then add whatevery like jquery or javascript code here as normal. Just keep in mind that it only work for the selected theme.

Thank you very much my problem is solved and everything is working fully well now.thank you.
