I'm having trouble getting my jQuery to work. The .js file is in the same folder as the homepage, and I'm trying to accordion a list using the effects plugin.
Here's the jQuery code:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#accordion').accordion({collapsible:true, active: false})
});

Here's the homePage code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Santa's Workshop</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src='script.js'></script>
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="styleSheet.css"/>

</head>
<body>
    <div id="header">
        <img src="images/northpole.png">
    </div>
    <div class="left">
        <h4>Activity Pages</h4>
        <ul id="accordion">
        <li>Santa's Stables</li>
        <li>Gift Delivery</li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

and finally the CSS:

body{
    background-color:green
}

#header{
    margin:auto;
    float:center;
    width:500px;
    border-radius:10px;
    background-color:red
}
#header img {
    display:block;
    margin:auto
}

.left{
    margin:auto;
    float:left;
    height:500px;
    width:30%;
    border-radius:10px;
    background-color:blue;
    border: 1px solid black;
    font-family:Cursive;
}

.left h4 {
    margin:auto;
    text-align:center;
    border-bottom:1px solid black;
    background-color:#55FFFF;   
    position:relative;
    top:+10px
}

Why am I having this trouble?

Looks like you didn't include jQuery, only jQueryUI.

also have your script.js file after the jQuery js files.

My bad, I thought you said "Also you have your" ><
You have to include jQuery before script.js, or script.js will not be able to recognize jQuery code.
