We have a website that uses javascript, prototype for client scripting, We are starting to use jQuery now and convert from prototype. I understand little of jQuery but I have enough knowledge to get around.

I ran into a problem, is it possible to do like a global load of $(document).ready(function(){}); because we have a lot of js files and I want to be able do use jquery('#button').click() and things like that.

Only examples I have seen is on the page itself not a js file. Please post a short example code if possible thanks!

    You can use $(document).ready() from an included js file, just make sure you use put the <script> include after the jquery include so the $ function is available.

    Edit:

    <html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/jquery.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/your/file.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

// file.js
$(document).ready(function() {
    // do whatever you want when the document finishes loading...
});
