jQuery works in jsFiddle but not on my computer

I'm new to jQuery and have been scratching my head all day trying to determine why this script runs in jsFiddle but not on my computer. I do not have a server setup, I am merely launching the html in my browser from the desktop.

The code works fine here: http://jsfiddle.net/9Dubr/164/. However when I create the following html file:

<html>
<head>
<title>this better work</title>

<script src="jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#submit').click(function(){
    $('#myfrom').fadeOut("slow", function(){
    var dot = $("<div id='foo'>Goodmorning Mr. Patti<br/><br/>Thank you.</div>".hide();
    $(this).replaceWith(dot);
    $('#foo').fadeIn("slow");
    });
    });
    </script> 
<style type="text/css">

#container{
width:342px;
height:170px;
padding:10px;
background-color:grey;
}
#myform{
width:322px;
height:100px;
color:#6F6F6F;
padding: 0px;
outline:none;
background-color:white;
}
#foo{
width:322px;
height:100px;
color:#6F6F6F;
padding: 0px;
outline:none;
background-color:white;
}
#submit{
color:#6F6F6F;
padding: 10px 2px 0px 0px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
outline:none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="myform">
<p> blah blah blah blah blah </p>
 <input id="submit" value="send" type="submit"/>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

I get no results when I click the submit button. Please help, I've spent 6 hours on this.

Thanks,

You have to execute the code on DOM ready. Wrap your code in $(function(){ }); Also, you're missing a ).

$(function () {
    $('#submit').click(function () {
        $('#myfrom').fadeOut("slow", function () {
            var dot = $("<div id='foo'>Goodmorning Mr. Patti<br/><br/>Thank you.</div>").hide();
            $(this).replaceWith(dot);
            $('#foo').fadeIn("slow");
        });
    });

});

EDIT:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>This better work</title>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
    $('#submit').click(function () {
        $('#myfrom').fadeOut("slow", function () {
            var dot = $("<div id='foo'>Goodmorning Mr. Patti<br/><br/>Thank you.</div>").hide();
            $(this).replaceWith(dot);
            $('#foo').fadeIn("slow");
        });
    });

});
</script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="container">
        <form id="myform">
            <p> blah blah blah blah blah </p>
            <input id="submit" value="send" type="submit"/>
        </form>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
