prettyphoto not working

Question

I can't get it working anyone out there can help

I use this in the head

<script src="js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/prettyPhoto.css" type="text/css" media="screen"/>
<script src="js/jquery.prettyPhoto.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I use this for photos

rel="prettyPhoto[pp_gal]"><

I use this before the closing body tag

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto({
            animationSpeed: 'normal', /* fast/slow/normal */
            padding: 40, /* padding for each side of the picture */
            opacity: 0.35, /* Value betwee 0 and 1 */
            showTitle: true, /* true/false */
            allowresize: true, /* true/false */
            counter_separator_label: '/', /* The separator for the gallery counter 1 "of" 2 */
            theme: 'light_rounded' /* light_rounded / dark_rounded / light_square / dark_square */
        });
    });
</script>

I linked the prettphoto CSS to my document What do I do with the jquery.js and the jquery-1.3.2.min.js folders?

1. Make sure the js and css folders are positioned relative to your current page. For example, if you are working on http://localhost/photogallery/index.html, make sure the 3 folders included with your prettyPhoto download get extracted to http://localhost/photogallery/, and not the root of your server.
2. Make sure you have the prettyPhoto "images" folder. It includes a number of themes and other resources necessary for prettyPhoto to look right.
3. A conflicting library or version of jQuery may be stopping prettyPhoto from loading. Try running prettyPhoto on a blank page with just the necessary scripts and CSS included, and a couple image links with rel="prettyPhoto[pp_gal]". If this works, and when you bring the code back in to your page it doesn't work, you can know that something is conflicting on the page with prettyPhoto or jQuery.
4. Check for any errors on the page. Internet Explorer has the Developer Tools. Firefox has Firebug. Chrome has Developer tools. Search online for how to use the one particular to your favorite browser.
