Question

The statement $(function()) in jQuery is a shorthand for $(document).ready( ...

Does it make sense having just once at the beginning of the script portion and holding all the script code (as example within tags in a aspx page) as needed?

Or rather would it be better to replicate it more than once and containing each set logic of correlated code?

As example:

<script>
 $(function()
 {
    //script code for function 1
  });

 $(function()
 {
    //script code for function 2
  });
 </script>

Is there any “best practice” about it or are both approaches exaclty equivalent?

Answer 1

I would get functions off $(function(){});

Put there only function calling & doing other stuff.

function a(){
    alert('a');
}

function b(){
    alert('B');
}

$(function(){
    a();
    b();
});

multiple $(function(){}); calls are very expensive!
