I could be mistaken here, but doesn't jQuery (or javascript for that
matter) need the DOM to be loaded before you can start selecting
things from it?
You could put the script elsewhere on the page, but you're still going
to have to wait for that div to load before you can change its
contents. If you to insert content before the page loads, you're going
to have to use some server-side programming, not javascript.
