jquery functions inside of document.ready are not being called

I'm new to jquery, looked at some tutorials, but I can't even get myself started. It looks like the stuff under $(document).ready is never being called. Here's the first few lines of my HTML:

<html>
<head>
<title>foobar</title>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type=\"text/javascript\"> 
$(document).ready(function(){
   alert("READY!");
   $("*").click( function() {
       alert("CLICKED!");
   });
}); </script>
...(some other scripts)
</head>...

I feel like this is as basic as you can get, but I'm not getting any alerts when I load or click on something in the page. Loading the jquery from an external file doesn't work either. I'm using Firefox 9. I don't know where to go from here, and I can't seem to find anything online that solves my problem. Does anyone have any idea of what might be wrong to cause this? Thanks!

<script type=\"text/javascript\"> should be <script type="text/javascript">. cause browsers have not issue with it.

Your script type is improperly formatted. You could fix it by removing the backslashes, but since all browsers default to javascript, you can omit it entirely:

<script type=\"text/javascript\">

<script>
