I'm not sure if I have this formed incorrectly or if there is a problem elsewhere. I am rather new to jQuery so this is probably simple:

Here is an HTML snippet:
<div class="showanswersnow"><a href="#">Click here to show the answers now.</a></div>

and here is a jQuery snippet:
$('.showtheanswers').click(function() {
$('.ouranswer').show();
});

But when I click this it doesn't display the .ouranswer div.

In another chunk of code i have a countdown time and when it gets to zero the jQuery executes:
$('.ouranswer').show();
and it works there.

Any thoughts?
