Menu
I want, my HTML document to output random numbers for Dungeons and Dragons. However, the code isn't working and I can't workout why.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#d4").click(function(){
var out = Math.random(1,4);
alert(out);
};
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id ="d4">Roll a d4</p>
</body>
</html>

The script tag cannot have the src attribute and a body, you need to use separate script tags
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#d4").click(function () {
var out = Math.random(1, 4);
alert(out);
}); //missing ) here
});
</script>
Script src
This attribute specifies the URI of an external script; this can be used as an alternative to embedding a script directly within a document. script elements with an src attribute specified should not have a script embedded within its tags.

After alert you need to close the parenthesis to the click function.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#d4").click(function(){
var out = Math.random(1,4);
alert(out);
}); // <-- here
});
