Well I can't post the whole program. I thought maybe it was a simple newbie
error.  Did you not read my subject line?  The error message is " Error
can't find variable: $" just like it says in the message subject line.

Basically I am including this script like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="date.js"></script>

And like I said, I include it at the bottom of my body.  I already include
jQuery like this in my <head>

 <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>

Other than that I am not sure what you want.  I am not even trying to use
the library, simply including it causes the error.  And like I said, the
error doesn't happen every time, just about half the time.

It seems like a timing thing, where it is trying to parse the date.js script
before it has parsed jQuery.  But besides including Jquery in the head and
this other script in the body, I don't know what to do to make sure the
library gets loaded after jQuery.

Sorry if the question is still unclear.
