I am using SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise. I am developing using VSTS 2008 + C# + .Net 3.5 + ASP.Net. I am learning the following code dealing with javascript, my confusion is for $(function(){…} part of code, when it will be called and what is its function? I did not see any code invokes this function.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Test</title>
    <link type="text/css" href="tabcontrol/themes/base/ui.all.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="tabcontrol/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function() {
            $("#tabs").tabs();
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>

<div class="demo">

<div id="tabs">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#tabs-1">tab1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#tabs-2">tab2</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div id="tabs-1">
        <p>tab1 info</p>
    </div>
    <div id="tabs-2">
        <p>tab2 info</p>
    </div>
</div>

</div>

</body>
</html>

thanks in advance,
George

    It comes from the jQuery library you’re including:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="tabcontrol/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>

    $ is an alias for the jQuery function.

    See jQuery(callback) reference documentation:

    A shorthand for $(document).ready().

    Allows you to bind a function to be executed when the DOM document has finished loading. This function behaves just like $(document).ready(), in that it should be used to wrap other $() operations on your page that depend on the DOM being ready to be operated on. While this function is, technically, chainable – there really isn’t much use for chaining against it.

    For more information, have a look at Tutorials:Introducing $(document).ready()
