Check if you have jquery before the function.js script file.

Check if you set the right link to your jquery version.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

somthing like this...

If you want to check if you are loading jQuery correctly, open up the console tab in Chrome and type $ and hit enter.

If you get an error, jQuery is not being loaded into your page.
