I am trying to make a simple animation using JQuery. I have tried adding the script externally(external file) and internally(within script tags). I have testing if the page is recognizing the script using the alert function, but the script is not executing. I am thinking that is has something to do with the syntax.

$("#container5").hover(function() {
        //hover in
        $(#container5).animate({
            height: "250",
            width: "250",
            left: "-=50",
            top: "-=50",
            }, "fast");
            }, function() {
            //hover out
            $(#container5).animate({
            height: "200",
            width: "200",
            left: "+=50",
            top: "+=50",
            }, "fast");
        }
    })(jQuery);
