Question

I have page X.

in X, i put in the head tag, a script tag.
the script needs to scan the body once the body has done rendering.

I tried jQuery.ready() but it is not called!
Can it be that the DOM is ready before the script is starting to run?
what can I do?

thanks

jQuery.ready() isn’t a function (well, not the handler you want anyway), what you want is jQuery(document).ready(), like this:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
  alert("DOM is ready!");
});

Or, the shorter form:

jQuery(function() {
  alert("DOM is ready!");
});
