Hello,

This simple code

<a href="javascript:$('.div-feedback').fadeIn();">

doesn't work in my newest version of firefox 29.0.1. it works on chrome just fine as it should.

rather than interpret as javascript, it reads as an url (opens the page "javascript:$('.div-feedback').fadeIn();" which is wrong of course)

Do you have an idea why?

Thank you Gonçalo

Actually, the href attribute is supposed to direct the browser to a new URL, etc., not run a script. Instead, use the onclick event attribute: 

   <a onclick = “$('.div-feedback').fadeIn();”></a>.

Happy coding!
