Cany find the bug in my Slimmenu / JQuery code

I am modifying my site to change the Spry menu bar because it does not work with tablets touch screens.

i have made a test page using SlimMenu which I downloaded from http://adnantopal.github.io/slimmenu/

It looks as though the JQuery is not working. In the instructions at the link above it mentions :
"Add jquery.slimmenu.js after jQuery plugin and before closing body tag." I dont know what a jQuery plugin is. Maybe this is the problem. There is also an error message displayed:
$('#navigation').slimmenu( { resizeWidth: '800', collapserTitle: 'Main Menu', animSpeed: 'medium', easingEffect: null, indentChildren: false, childrenIndenter: ' ' })

Help will be much appreciated.

jQuery is simply an advanced javascript library. You can download jQuery from here: http://jquery.com/download/ and add jQuery js file to your project page (like slimmenu.js).
Or you can directly link to jQuery library using Google CDN: https://developers.google.com/speed/libraries/.

Hi Dui
I downloaded jquery.js and put it in a folder called slimmenu. I also put in a two script lines;

<script src="slimmenu/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="slimmenu/jquery.slimmenu.js"></script>

I still get the problem that the menu is in uncolapsed form though the links do work. I also get an error message at the very bottom of the page
$('#navigation').slimmenu( { resizeWidth: '800', collapserTitle: 'Main Menu', animSpeed: 'medium', easingEffect: null, indentChildren: false, childrenIndenter: ' ' });

I must be close but I stil cant find the problem. The link to the offending page is www.sowter.co.uk/ix4.php

Please help!
