The following script is within a div, does this matter? As it doesn’t work. Is the syntax right? Do I need to tell jquery to go up a level in the DOM first? how would I do this?

        $(document).ready(function() {
          $('body').addClass('diary');
        });

Thanks guys.

Here is the relevant section in the HTML:

<body>


  <header>
    <div class="logo">
      <a href=""></a>
    </div>  
    <nav class="main-nav">
      <a class="first" href="http://www.adrianwaddingham.com">HOME</a>
      <a class="second" href="/sheriff">SHERIFF</a>
      <a class="third" href="/biography">BIOGRAPHY</a>
      <a class="fourth" href="/contact">CONTACT</a>     
      <a class="fifth" href="/diary">DIARY</a>     

    </nav>

  </header>

<script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
          $('body').addClass('diary');
        });    
</script>


<section class="copy-main">
  <article>

    I understand that you are viewing the html source to check body class you added. DOM manipulation with javascript is not visible in source code, but you can check it with Developer Tools in your browser(Chrome, Firefox and IE have one).
