How to fire click event in jQuery?

I am a beginner in jQuery programming. I am trying to fire a click event on list click, but it is not working properly. The following is my code: 

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" >
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js">

<link rel="stylesheet"  href="style.css" />
$("ul#select li").click(function(e){
    //targ = $(e.target);
    if($(this).hasClass("selected"))
    {
        $(this).removeClass("selected");
        document.location= "cambridge:clearanswer";
    }
    else
    {
        currentanswer = $(this).html();
        document.location = "cambridge:checkanswer:"+currentanswer;
        $("ul.select li").removeClass("selected");
        $(this).addClass("selected");
    }
});

function getUsed()
{
    var total = "";
    $(".boxWord.boxWordUsed").each(function (i){ total = total + this.getAttribute('index_no') + ":"; });
    return total;
}

</script>
</script>
<link href="style.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> 
</head>
<body>
<div class="question" >
<ul data-role="listview" data-inset="true" data-theme="c" data-dividertheme="b" class="select" id="select"> 
            <li data-role="list-divider" class="selected">Overview</li> 
<li data-role="list-divider" class="selected">Overview</li> 
</ul>
</div> 
</body>
</html>

First of all you are not writing codes in <script> tag and the code messed up between multiple tags. Then you have use $(document).ready(). You also have other errors in code, I have corrected all of them for you, I understand you are a newbie :).

See a working demo here http://jsfiddle.net/DtHJY/1/

Here is the corrected code:

 <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet"  href="style.css" />

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
$("ul#select li").click(function(e){
    alert('test');
                        //targ = $(e.target);
                        if($(this).hasClass("selected"))
                        {
                        $(this).removeClass("selected");
                        document.location= "cambridge:clearanswer";
                        }
                        else
                        {
                        currentanswer = $(this).html();
                        document.location = "cambridge:checkanswer:"+currentanswer;
                        $("ul.select li").removeClass("selected");
                        $(this).addClass("selected");
                        }
                        });




function getUsed()
{
    var total = "";
    $(".boxWord.boxWordUsed").each(function (i){ total = total + this.getAttribute('index_no') + ":"; });
    return total;
}

    });
</script>
<link href="style.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="question" >
<ul data-role="listview" data-inset="true" data-theme="c" data-dividertheme="b" class="select" id="select">
            <li data-role="list-divider" class="selected">Overview</li>
<li data-role="list-divider" class="selected">Overview</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>

try

document.location.href = 'link'

instead

and also do not forgot to wrap your code into

$(function(){
     //your code
});

As long as you have wrapped the event binder in $(document).ready(function() { ... }); then it will work perfectly.

Have a look at this demo: http://jsfiddle.net/E5BZ9/

You need to wrap your script up in document ready:

$(document).ready(function() {
   ...your click event code
});

Otherwise it may try to attach the event before the element is loaded.
