why will my JQuery selector not work ?

I am a newb to JQuery and am studying out of a book. For some crazy reason this selector /event sdtatement refuses to work even though according to the book it is supposed to work. I know that JQuery is loading as I can get an alert() to work. So can someone tell me what is wrong with this snippet ?? 

<script src="http://www.ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo base_url();?>js/global.js"></script>

$('input#name-submit').on('click',function(){
    alert(1);
});

The console says that $ has not been defined. the php statement just refers to the base url in Codeigniter.

Many thanks

Maybe you need to put the code like this:

<script>
$('input#name-submit').on('click',function(){
    alert(1);
});
</script>

Between a script tag

beside what Guilherme mentioned You need to wrap your selector inside a tag

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
    $('input#name-submit').on('click',function(){
        alert(1);
    });
});
</script>

Think you just need to take the www out of the URL for the jQuery src.
