Is there a difference, performance or efficiency wise, between placing javascript calls such as blur, onclick etc. in $(document).ready(function(){ as opposed to placing them in HTML?
Thanks!
I think by “in the DOM” you mean this:
right? If so, then it’s not so much about performance as it is about maintainability and power. Using jQuery (since you mentioned the “ready” handler in jQuery terms) to bind your events lets the framework take care of managing multiple handlers, and dealing with browser differences.
In fact sometimes it’s even better to not bind directly to elements at all. Instead, you can use the jQuery “live” or “delegate” mechanisms to help cut down on actual handler bindings and provide for a more dynamic DOM.
