title: How to use jquery in ASP.​NET Core
body: <p>I created a ASP.NET core template and wrote a jquery script. When I look at the page I see that jquery is loaded into the page, but the script doesn’t run. I looked at the ASP.NET docs page and my layout.cshtml looks the same, so are there extra steps I must take to get jquery working?

  <pre><code>@{
      ViewData["Title"] = "Home Page";
  }
  &lt;!-- Page Content--&gt;
  &lt;div class="container"&gt;
      &lt;div class="row"&gt;
          &lt;form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"&gt;
              &lt;input type="file" id="files" name="files" multiple /&gt;
              &lt;input type="button" id="upload" value="Upload Selected Files" /&gt;
          &lt;/form&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;script&gt;
      $(document).ready(function () {
          alert("Test"); 
      });
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Solution</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>@section scripts
  {
      &lt;script&gt;
          $(document).ready(function() {
              alert("Test");
          });
      &lt;/script&gt;
  }
  </code></pre>
