Friend you are going to laugh when you know the mistake.
Actually you used click me so whenever you click on click me you jquery is executed but due to href="" the page is reloaded and you think that query did not work.

For resolving it you need to replace href="" with href="#" and your code will start working.

Hi,

The correct solution is to add return false from your click event. This cancels the event and the page does not refresh.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('a').click(function(){
        $('img').attr({ src: 'Tulips.jpeg', alt: 'cover2' });
        return false;
    });
});

Note that you should not set your href to '#' as this results in the page scrolling to the top when the link is clicked.
