Question

I am new at using MVC 4 and Javascript. I created a javascript that does not send the alert when the page is ready. I cant seem to figure out what i am doing wrong.

my code:

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Import";
}
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(this).ready(function () {
        alert("test");
    });

</script>
<h2>Import</h2>
<form id="form1">
    @Html.DropDownList("TableDDL")
</form>

what am i doing wrong ?

Answer 1

Try this:

<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        alert("test");
    });
</script>

Note: Make sure you have included reference of jQuery Library on your page.
