administration theme

I'm having a very frustrating issue with jquery. I am trying to co-oped some jquery script, css, and text from ProPublica to use as a republished work on my company website (publicsource.org). The code that I am trying to use is here:

$(document).ready(function() {
var tabCommon = $(".frack-show-common");
tabCommon.addClass("active");
var tabSick = $(".frack-show-sick");
var tabWeird = $(".frack-show-weird");
tabCommon.click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#common").fadeIn("slow");
$("#sick").hide();
$("#weird").hide();
tabCommon.addClass("active");
