Ok, I thought that this piece of JS code in the <head> tag like so:
<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
(function($) {
... Does it see HTML tags? ...
})(jQuery);
</script>
</head>
<body>
.... html tags ..
</body>
</html>
That the whole purpose of (function($) {...... })(jQuery) was so it
ready to work as soon as the HTML tags are ready?
I have to move it the JS to the affter the tags.
<head>
</head>
<body>
.... html tags ..
<script type='text/javascript'>
(function($) {
... Does it see HTML tags? ...
})(jQuery);
</script>
</body>
What am I missing here about jQuery?
You messed up a usual closure with jQuery document.ready method:
Use:
$(document).ready(function() {
// DOM is ready
});
or the shortcut (which looks similiar to yours but isn't):
$(function() {
// DOM is ready
});
And together with the self executing anonymous function you have:
(function($) {
$(function() {
// DOM is ready
});
})(jQuery);
