ready() is a replacement for window.onload and is therefore only
intended to be used against document.
$(document.ready(){
// jquery code goes inside the ready()...
// eg .....
$("textarea#MessageBody")
.after("<input id=\"CharCounter\"/>")
.each(function(){CharCounter(this);})
.keyup(function(){CharCounter(this);});
});
