Question

This code:

<script type="text/javascript">

someMethod1();



$(function () {
    someMethod2();
});

</script>

What is the difference between these two callings? When do we do the first call, and when do we do the second call? What is the order of the method execution?

Answer 1

someMethod1 is executed immediately

someMethod2 waits for the whole page to load,
including external javascript files (other scripts, or from other sites), CSS
and other resources before executing the code.

$(function () {
    //run after page loads
});

Method2 sometimes comes in the form of

$(document).ready(function() {
  // Handler for .ready() called.
});
