Question

I’ve seen very much tutorials, where in the demo I see something like this:

// my dummy example
$(function() {
    $('a.change').bind('click',function(event){
        $('body').css('background','#27272')
    });
});

I do not understand what $(function() { is doing and why it is not working? What can i do to get it working properly without breaking other code?

Answer 1

$(function() {}) is a shortcode for $(document).ready(handler) more info can be found here

Your posted code shouldn’t break anything. Maybe you can provide a jsfiddle where we can look into it.
