How to make a jquery pop up, pop up with text

Question

http://madaxedesign.co.uk/

On my home page I have created a anchor at the bottom of the page under the name of "get in touch" that has a class of Contact-pop-up and in the Jquery have added a.contact-pop-up to the Jquery so onClick it will perform the script but when I go to test by pressing on the get in touch anchor it doesn't seem to work.

I was wondering if anyone knows why this would be?

Jquery

    $('a.contact , a.contact_footer , a.contact-pop-up').click(function() {
    $("#popup").load("contact.php");
    // Getting the variable's value from a link
    var 
    show = $('#popup').css('display', 'block'),
    popup = $(this).attr('href');

    //Fade in the Popup and add close button
    $(popup).fadeIn(300);

    //Set the center alignment padding + border
    var popMargTop = ($(popup).height() + 24) / 2; 
    var popMargLeft = ($(popup).width() + 24) / 2; 

    $(popup).css({ 
        'margin-top' : -popMargTop,
        'margin-left' : -popMargLeft
    });

    // Add the mask to body
    $('body').append('<div id="mask"></div>');
    $('#mask').fadeIn(300);

    return false;
});

// When clicking on the button close or the mask layer the popup closed
$('a.cross, #mask').live('click', function() { 
  $('#mask , #popup').fadeOut(300 , function() {
    $('#mask').remove();  
}); 
return false;
});
