Basic function could not be found, if I include jQuery

Question

This is such a basic thing, I could not figure out. Consider the following:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head lang="en">
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title></title>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.js" />
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

        function Show(msg){
            alert(msg);
        }

    </script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onClick="Show('hello');" value="Show 1" />
</body>
</html>

The above sample works fine if I exclude "jquery" include. What am I missing here?

Wow...that worked...could not imagine it would be that worse, if I use just "/>". Thanks sir. — user203687, Aug 13 '15 at 15:36

that is because self closing script tags do not work. use:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.js"></script>

Good to know this. So strange that I did not even receive any error for that, in any browser. – user203687 Aug 13 '15 at 15:38
