Your code will execute as soon as the browser sees it, but at that time there are no <a> elements to attach the click function to! You need to wait until the HTML document is all downloaded to safely attach event handlers like this.

JavaScript Code:

jQuery(function(){

  $("a").click(function(event){
    alert("As you can see, the link no longer took you to jquery.com");
    event.preventDefault();
  });

});
