jQuery Text Limiter not working

I am using the textLimiter jQuery class (http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jQueryTextLimiterCounter) and I can not get it to work. I am using the demo as a walk through and here is what I have so far.

Master Page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="~/JQuery/jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="~/JQuery/textLimitCount.js"></script>

Page to use the limiter: Content Place Holder for Head:

<script type="text/javascript">
          $(document).ready(function () {
              $('#txtTest1').textLimiter();
          });

       </script>

Content Placeholder for Body:

<textarea id="txtTest1" rows="5" cols="50"&g开发者_如何转开发t;</textarea><br />

However I can not get anything to work with limiting my text, anyone run across this or see any errors I am missing? (new to jQuery here!)

Looks like you are not referencing the scripts properly.

~/JQuery/jquery-1.4.1.min.js

should be

/JQuery/jquery-1.4.1.min.js

The "~" is only used for .NET server control paths.
