I am adding this simple plugin that I have working in a static html site, and am trying to add it to a wordpress development site based off of 960 gs. The jquery code links are correct but the console gives me this error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'addGrid' of null" I got the code from this turtorial http://www.badlydrawntoy.com/2009/04/21/960gs-grid-overlay-a-jquery-plugin/

Here is the code I am using

/*<![CDATA[*/
    // onload
    $(function() {

        $("body").addGrid(12, {img_path: 'img/'});
    });
/*]]>*/

Here is the code for the plugin
