Unfortunately, you have not been fun.  But you are improving, if slowly.

The FAQ Notes on posting and the FAQ on debugging, for example.

Yes, I expect people to be intelligent enough to find out the basics of 
newsgroup communication for themselves.  For it is not the case that one 
cannot read turorials, and newsgroups before posting to them.  And then 
there’s decent upbringing by at least one parent telling that one does one’s 
homework first…

(This should not be misunderstood as “Libraries are not endorsed by this

In this regard, you may use any of the available FAQs for this newsgroup 
(there are at least three variants now), there is no significant difference.

It will.  The underlying mistake is so very trivial, a schoolchild could 
find out.

It was.  You did not provide to the runtime environment (here: the browser’s 
script engine) the source code that defined the symbol “$”.  Did you even 
*read* the *actual* error message?
