I am getting this error Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined with 400 error on the debug programmer console of chrome. The problem when loading is in checkout onepage and the continue button is not working. I supose this is related to a non reference to jquery. How can we link to this .js file and where should i look for it? I believe this is related to the theme i am used but it worked in the past.
After more debugging i am getting the conclusion that the button on the page is missing the html tag for calling the js function that was suposed to be in it.
This is the html page:

After looking in the magento files there are only 2 files that can generate that code located at:
app\design\frontend\base\default\template\checkout\onepage\billing.phtml
app\design\frontend\base\default\template\persistent\checkout\onepage\billing.phtml
The odd thing is i have tested change or remove the files but the page error is still generated. I have cleared the magento cache in admin and in /var/cache
